My 100th Day Of School Favorites

Hi Friends! The 100th Day is right around the corner and I wanted to share with you some of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE 100th day activities that I have accumulated over the years!

First of all, an ABSOLUTE MUST is to get your entire hallway involved in the fun! We created this "grand entranceway" a couple years ago and the students went CrAzY for it! ( We just used a bed sheet, tempera paint, and some masking tape to hold it up!)

 My second MUST is to decorate your classroom door! Yes, of course there are going to be quadruple the number of bathroom and water fountain breaks as usual so that the kids can duck under the streamers...but so what...you knew this day wasn't going to be a normal day anyhow!

Ok, this MUST will keep you laughing for days...YOU MUST DOWNLOAD AN AGING APP on your IPad or phone and age all your students darling faces...and yourself of course! (I used Aging Booth) I turn it into a Power Point presentation for the kids to watch. SO...MUCH...FUN!

I know there are lots of "new" 100th day books out there, but I still adore these two oldies! (A serving of chocolate chip cookies is not required, but HIGHLY APPRECIATED when reading The Wolf's Chicken Stew, and I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words  is the perfect intro for a "We Can Write 100 Words" class activity.

This MUST is our favorite 100th day song. You can a copy of it FREE by clicking here.

WARNING...This MUST is another GIGGLE producer!!! You need to make copies of a map of your school, ( I use the first floor of my building since that is where my classroom is located), and then have the students predict...using your classroom door as a starting point, where you will end up if 100 students lie down end to end. Then let the measuring begin!!! (Some years we have included other classes to make it equal 100, and some years we just keep getting up and repositioning ourselves.)

Another MUST is to have your students use the number 100 and their imaginations to make a 100 Picture Masterpiece!

 My favorite math MUST for the day is Race For A Flat (sometimes called Race or Roll for 100) In this game the students roll two dice and gather that many base ten blocks. They can make trades for tens whenever possible. The goal is to continue to gather and trade blocks until someone reaches 100.

The rest of my MUSTS include some fun writing activities, 100th day crowns, and certificates, many of which you can find in a great resource on TPT  by Kerri B. from teacherbitsandbobs.blogspot.com

I hope this post gave you some new ideas for this years 100th Day Celebration! Happy 100th Day from our class to yours!
