100th day of school

Yesterday was our 100th day of school, so we did a lot of things to celebrate being 100 days smarter! The first thing we did was go on a hershey kiss hunt. I wrote numbers 1-100 on the bottom of 100 hershey kisses and hid them around the classroom. My kiddies walked around the classroom looking for the hershey kisses. Once they found one, they looked at the number on the bottom and placed it on the corresponding number on a hundreds chart. Here are some pictures of us on our hunt!

Next, each student wrote a bucket list of five things they want to do before they are 100 years old. I also took each student's picture using an app called AgingBooth, which made them look like they were 100. The results were so funny!

Later in the day, students drew 100 sprinkles on a cupcake using 10 different colors, wrote what they would do with $100, guessed and tested out how many of different exercises they could do in 100 seconds, drew themselves at 100 years old, and came up with a list of 100 things we have learned so far in first grade. 

They also made crazy 100th day hats! I had my kiddies draw 10 of a shape or picture on 10 strips of paper, to total 100 shapes on their hat. Take a look at the results!

Last but not least, some of my students dressed to look like they were 100 years old. Their outfits were creative, and when I asked them to pose for a picture, of course they all bent over like they couldn't stand up straight, just like someone would do if they were 100. They sure are silly!
