HAPPY 100TH DAY OF SCHOOL!!

The weather was beautiful, everyone came to school, and everyone had a terrific day today!
I love days like this where we get to have fun, make memories, and still learn cool things!

Mr. Linnet's Class on the 100th Day of School

Today was the 100th Day of School at Cordelia Hills Elementary.  We had a great day of fun and learning all focused around the number "100"!!

Our Counting Caterpillar (1-100)

Of course many of the students practiced counting to 100.  We used our caterpillar display to practice counting, as well as a 100 chart, the computers, a Super-Hero counting video, and basic body movements clapping and dancing to 100.

So EXCITED for the 100th Day of School

Here we are at the start of the day.  Everyone came to school dressed in their "100" capes, which are capes with 100 things attached to them.  The students have worked on them for about 5 days.  Many of the students also brought in a bag containing 100 things they collected at home (cereal, cards, shells, beans, toys, etc.).  It was a lot of fun and great to see them sharing the things they practiced counting and making at home!

The students in their 100th Day Capes

Here are all of the "Counting Super Heroes" sitting at the carpet in their capes.  They were getting ready to come up to the front of the class, take a Super Hero pose, then tell us about their capes.  It was so awesome that everyone in class did this project (as each cape was both special and unique)!

The 100th Day Quilt that our class made

This is the 100th Day Quilt that our class made.  The students actually colored the hand squares yesterday, then I cut them out and glued them onto the large paper to make the quilt.  I had it posted on the window facing outside so that the other students could see it as they walked past our class (sorry for the glare).  Each hand increases by 5 to show how to count up from 5 to 100.  The kids had a lot of fun with this and it helped reinforce skip counting by 5's.  We will probably leave this up in our class or somewhere around the school all year.

Thank you to Mrs. Sanchez-Craig for sharing the photos, and to all the parents that helped today.  I hope that your children had fun today (and aren't too bummed out that the $100 I gave them today wasn't real).  If your child forgot to grab their math homework today (I gave them most of the day to work on it), then message me and I will put one in their cubby tomorrow.
