Happy 100th Day of School!

We did it! Today was the 100th Day of School. We had so much fun celebrating this milestone today. 

But, before we did the fun activities, we had some new learning to do. In Language Arts, we practiced blending, reading, and spelling r-controlled -er, -ir, and -ur words. We also talked about drawing conclusions when reading a story. 

Then, it was time to celebrate.  Working in groups, the students used 100 objects to create a design. Students used either cups, linking cubes, Army men, and pattern blocks; they were very creative with their designs. Next, the students created portraits of themselves when they are 100 and wrote about what they would do when they are 100. Here is a sample of their work. 



After a break for lunch and computer class, we resumed our celebration. We took a survey of who would like to eat 100 pieces of pizza, 100 chicken nuggets, 100 strawberries, 100 carrots, and 100 cupcakes. We made tally marks to show the results. Then used the tally marks to help make a bar graph. Using that information, we analyzed the data. Here is how our graph turned out. 



Our day ended with the students using the digits 1, 0, 0 to make a design. I'll post pictures of those tomorrow. 

Finally, here are pictures of the 100 day designs the students made. They are totally awesome. Thank you for taking the time to help the students make such wonderful masterpieces.
