100 Days of School!!

I love 100 days of school. I go a little crazy with it. This year I "won a grant" to help out with purchasing supplies for our big day. It has been fabulously fun. We just finished our goodie bags, and necklace. Last week we made a dinosaur to count by 10s. I have 100 post it notes for each first year. I also have plans for making a 100 day treat, and to finish off our study on the seven continents. (It has taken me forever to finish the continents!! But I can't just move on, I must finish!) Of course, there will be my door decoration, and the 100 exercises, 100 words, 100 math problems, okay maybe I am getting out of control.

I can't wait!!!

I told the students that we would have a pinata, i thought that would work for Mexico when we talk about North America, and put on 100 strips of paper. For South America we are making a rainstick--each student gets to count out 100 grains of rice to put in it, then 100 shapes to decorate it. For Australia we are going to make digeridoo, and then AFRICA!! We are making a shield. I haven't figured out how to fit 100 into that yet.

There is still so much I want to do and i am feeling a little stressed about time.
