100th Day

A week ago Wednesday was the 100th day of school at UMS! Students in our class did reading, math, and art activities all throughout the day focused on the number 100. We made math necklaces where we grouped cereal pieces into labeled groups of 10 all the way to 100. We challenged ourselves to see what we could do in 100 seconds: how many times we could jump in place in 100 seconds, how many times we could clap in 100 seconds, how many times we could write our name in 100 seconds, etc! All four first grade classes took turns rotating between 4 stations, one in each of the first grade classrooms, working on different 100th day projects. In one room the kids built with groups of 100 things, in another they made crowns with 10 streamers each covered in 10 stickers or dots, in a third they used paper cut outs of the number 100 to make a giant picture, and in our room they made a "gumball machine," painting 10 dots in each of 10 different colors to fill the machine. Below are some photos of our day!
