Our 100th Day of Kindergarten [in pictures]

Yesterday was the 100th day of kindergarten! It was easily one of my favorite days of teaching - ever. It was fun, exciting, full of learning opportunities -- and overall, a wonderful celebration. 

Here's a wrap-up of our 100th day [in pictures].

[This was a cheap, easy idea... and a HIT!!!]


[Cut off two sections of an egg carton -- perfect counting trays! The kids counted 10 Fruit Loops into 10 sections = 100!] My kids seriously loved this. Some of them would not quit until it was done! :)

[A favorite of almost all the kids! Trace and make a crown to wear. The one on the top is my crown I wear every year -- I've saved it since my first year!]

[So cute! Use bingo dotters for easy gumballs -- 10 of 10 different colors!]

[I hid 100 stickers around the room with the numbers 1-100 written on them. The kids raced back to the hundred board with their sticker and avidly searched for where to put it. Challenging -- and fun!]

Awesome day -- on all levels! I overhead many "I wish everyday was the 100th day!" yesterday.
Me too!

100 days of kindergarten! [Snack Mix]

Wednesday is the 100th day of kindergarten!! I am beyond excited to celebrate with my kinder babies. Every year, I try to add more to the 100th day celebration -- and I'm hoping this year will be the best so far!

Each year, we do a 100-piece snack mix. It will be one of the four "100th day stations" during our usually morning literacy workstation time. The kids love making this snack -- and they take such pride in it.

My wonderfully supportive classroom parents donate all the food items. The mix is made with 10 pieces of 10 different snacks [raisins, M&Ms, marshmallows, cheese balls, cookie crisp, goldfish, cheez-its, fruit loops, chocolate chips, and teddy grahams]. 

To help the kiddos count out their "10 groups of 10," I created this grid. I've had a paper in the past, but I fixed this one to include snacks my kids would like -- and of course, I had to make it cuter. :)
