The 100th Day of School

Thursday, January the 26 was the 100^th day of school at SBEC!  There was a lot of excitement as the first grade participated in many fun activities using the number 100! The students colored a headband and silly glasses that had the number 100 on them and got to wear them all day.  They made a funny booklet that had all sorts of sentences they finished concerning 100 items. Throughout the day we did activities like doing jumping jacks counting by 5’s and 10’s to 100, estimating how long 100 seconds was and sorting 100 small objects they had brought from home to sort into groups of 5’s and 10’s. Each class made a 100 piece snack by counting out 10 different items to put in a trail mix. In the afternoon, the classes rotated to each first grade teacher’s class to do a math activity.  Mrs. Hall had the students build structures with 100 pattern blocks, Mrs. Camp had the students work 100 piece puzzles, Mrs. Vanderford had the students draw what they might look like in 100 years and where they might be in 100 years and Mrs. Quinlan had the students connect unifix cubes together to estimate how long 100 inches would be.  Overall, the students had a fun and educational day using the number 100!
