100th Day of School Family Project!

I hope everyone has had a nice start to your mid-winter break!  When we return to school, the 100th Day of School will be upon us!  This is a big event in K.  We use the day to build number sense and to celebrate all of our hard work thus far in the school year.

So... you have another family project to work on over break!
Your task is to design a collection of 100 things.
Again, this is a great opportunity to have some fun and to get creative!  Play to your child's interests and make it a worthwhile experience.
Here are some pictures of past projects:

100 Skittles

100 Nickels

100 Candies

100 Pennies

This project shows 10 groups of 10 with different objects.

100s Garden

(Again, each row in the garden is a different group of 10.)

100 LEGOS

100 Stickers

The best way to count out 100 things is to make 10 groups of 10.  Then your child can count by 10s to check it.  As a challenge, you might also count out groups of 5s afterwards and count by 5s to 100.  

You might also use a 100s chart to help you count.  Click here for one!  You can color each row of ten as you count it out.  This is a great way to incorporate number reading too!

THE PROJECTS MUST COME TO SCHOOL ON TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25TH!

Now, on to FAMILY VOLUNTEERS!  This is a very busy day and I need your help.  There are a few ways you can do that...
1.  Volunteer from 9:00-11:30 on Tuesday.  During this time, you will support students in station-based activities.  This is the most-needed time.
2.  Volunteer from 1:40-3:30 on Tuesday to support students in classroom activities.
3.  Volunteer Monday at any time to help me prep materials for the day.

If you can help, please send me an email and let me know what time/day you can help!  Thank you for your support!
