Well I haven't written in a while, but my Christmas and New Years were wonderful. Caleb, my boyfriend came to visit me, and we had such a fun time. I hope to eventually put up pictures from when he was here. Now I can hardly believe it is the middle of February. Everything has been fairly normal and routine since school started back up after winter vacation.
This past Saturday,
we celebrated our 100th day of school with a 100 Day Party. Not only did we learn all about 100, but we had lots of fun too. On the day of the party, I had each of the girls bring in 100 items to share with the class. Rebekah brought 100 m&ms; Hannah brought 100 red hot candies; and Rachel brought 100 peanuts. We started our party after recess by reading the book Miss Bindergarten Celebrates 100 Days of Kindergarten. We then dressed up for the party by making 100 Day crowns with 100 stickers and 100 Day necklaces with 100 pieces of cereal. Next, the girls took turns presenting what they brought and why. The we played a game where they had to write down whether they thought there was 100 items in a jar. I had three jars all the same size: one with marshmellows, one with coins, and one with chocolate chips. They all had 100, but be
cause they each filled the jar to a different level, it was fun to hear the students' guesses. Next we made posters of what we would buy with $100. The girls had some great ideas! Next we made a 100 piece puzzle and, to work up an appetite, completed 100 exercises. We then counted all the items in the jars to see who had guessed correctly and prizes were won by all. Finally we had juice and a 100 Day mix of snacks. The girls each filled a cup with the different snacks the wanted to eat and they then mixed the snacks together by shaking their cup. We had such a fun time!
