100 Days Smarter in K!

On Monday, we celebrated our 

100th Day of Kindergarten! 

After getting to go through our special 100th Day Tunnel, the giraffes enjoyed a day of fun with the number 100! We did the 100 second challenge, where the giraffes had to see how many times they could do different challenges in 100 seconds!

We had to see how many times we could write our names, say the ABCs, and do jumping jacks in 100 seconds! 

It was a beautiful day outside, and we took advantage of the warmer temperatures to build some snowmen :)

After we came back to class, we joined the seals for a building challenge where we worked in small groups to build structures out of 100 marshmallows and 100 toothpicks! 

We used all sorts of shapes in our structures--squares, triangles, and rectangles turned into pyramids, cubes, and prisms! 

We continued to stretch our brains with 100-themed math menu choices during the rest of our week. We stamped, rolled, and filled tens frames all the way to 100!

All of the giraffes should be so proud of the growth they've made as learners and as friends in the last 100 days. It is hard to believe there are less than 80 days left in the school year, but there is much to look forward to in the months ahead! 

100 Days of Learning and Fun!

The Giraffe Class is officially 100 days smarter! Today, we celebrated our 100th Day of Second Grade with lots of fun activities involving our favorite 3-digit number :) 

Our 100th Day Letter Project looks amazing out in our hallway! The giraffes got so creative with their letters, and our second and first grade hallway neighbors have really enjoyed stopping by and checking out our display

Throughout the day, we got to go in and out of our 100th day portal while we did lots of activities with the number 100.

After reading, we tried doing lots of things in 100 seconds. First, we estimated how many times we'd be able to do each activity in that time, and then we recorded our actual results. We clapped, stood up and sat down, wrote our names, said the ABCs, blinked, and hopped all around! We also wrote 100 adding facts and 100 subtracting facts that equaled 100 and did some writing about what we would like to buy if we had $100--puppies, mansions, and pokemon cards were all very popular choices 

One of our MOST favorite (and silliest!) activities of the day was turning ourselves into 100 year-olds! Do you recognize these senior citizens?

Even Ms. Riley and Mrs. Zampini became a bit older and wiser!

We had so much fun celebrating 100 Days of Learning and Fun in the Giraffe Class! Here's to many more days of amazing second grade adventures :)
