Let’s Get Ready For the 100th Day of School!
It usually happens in February or early March, the 100th day of school – only 80 days until summer vacation!!
When my youngest, Megan, was in Kindergarten and they celebrated the 100th day of school she came home upset. “Mom, I thought when we reached the 100th day we were done with school for the year,” she exclaimed. It was a bit of a let down for her!! In the Kannenberg house we make it a celebration! When they were younger we would practice counting to 100.
Our 5 favorite activities to celebrate the 100th day of school:
- Have each child count out 100 food items to make a trail mix snack. Our favorites are raisins, dry cereal, pretzels, marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, m & m’s, popcorn and peanuts. Thankfully we don’t have any peanut allergies!
- Make a picture, gluing 100 items on the page using buttons, dry pasta or our favorite, a snowman using 100 mini marshmallows!
- Do 100 jumping jacks!
- Read for 100 minutes!
- Walk for 100 minutes!
What will you do?
