We are 100 Days Smarter !

Friday was our 100th day of school, and it was a day of celebration for our hard work thus far in 2nd grade. We had a fun snack, played math and spelling games, and presented our 100th day projects. This is a special family project we do every year. Students must creatively display 100 objects to show their understanding of counting to 100. I was SO proud of their hard work and creativity! This activity aligns well with the common core speaking and listening standards, as well as the math standards.

 Our fun snack and visors to wear ! Students also received bracelets and dog tags for their back packs.

How did you celebrate the 100th day at your school?
