100th day of school

I have noticed that a lot of teachers have already had their 100's day party. I'm not sure if we just can't count in my class, or maybe we skipped a day or two on our numbers chart (most likely a little of both;). In my defense we have had A LOT of snow days (7 to be exact). But our 100th day of school is tomorrow. I feel like we have gotten into a bit of a boring funk, so I want the 100's day to be AwEsOmE. I started yesterday by taking pics of the kids using an agingbooth app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/agingbooth/id357467791?mt=8). It was $1, but my husband and I spent hours on it just laughing! Take a look at my pic, I hope I look a bit better when I get older but I think the bags under my eyes seem about right.

It is crazy cool!  Some of the other teachers think it is a bit creepy, but I think it is hilarious! I may be a bit warped I guess. Well we can't just do something fun, we have to make it look like work, so we also did some writing, before I am 100 I will.... Here you go

First things first, we are dressing up like we are 100 years old, then we are going on our 100 step parade (we will just make it through the other kinder room).

Next the kids are bringing in their 100's collection. I have them all put them in a brown bags, stapled shut, then with a partner they get to give their partner 3 clues and try to guess. This is what I sent home in my newsletter:

100’s Day

Our 100th day of school will be on Friday Feb 28th. For our 100th day of school, I am giving students the option to dress up like they are 100 years old! I am also asking that they bring in a collection of 100 items. Please make sure the items fit in a small bag, and have your student put in 100 of the same items in the bag, write their name on it and staple it shut (they may decorate their bag is they like). I am going have the students guess what each kiddo brought! Some ideas are beads, pennies, ect. We will count and display these during the day. Please bring these in by Friday!

We sort these out on their sorting mat ( just a big piece of construction paper). Then the kids are ready to move and see what everyone brought.

So, we are going to write about what their friends brought in, and draw it.

So after this is done, it will be time to put their things away, before they become too much of a problem. 

Last we will do our stations. I have 7 stations planned, this is because I tag team this with the other Kinder teacher, so we have extra hands and the kids get to do more! 

Here is a list of my stations:

1.  Hiding 100 Hersey Kisses, I actually put a number on the bottom of each kiss, hide them around the room and kids have to find them and put the one they find our giant 100 chart.

2. 100 Dixie cup stack challenge

3. 100 Legos creation

4. 100 day crowns http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/100th-Day-Crown-193587

5. 100 day coloring sheet http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/100th-Day-Math-Worksheet-195065

6. Gum Ball q-tip painting (ten different color for 10 different groups of gum balls)- I am using a paper plate with a trapezoid stapled on the bottom. 

and last,

7. Tootsie Pop experiment
