One of the things I work on during the summer is getting my things ready for counting up to 100-Day. I’ve listed some of the “stuff” that I do.  I hope you get a few ideas for your students and become excited for back-to-school.

I’m endeavoring to keep my articles short, so I will post only two ideas on a page.  There are 6 ideas, so keep scrolling down for two more “mini-sub articles” if you want to read all of the tips for this topic!

Index Card Booklet:

• Make an index card-number flip book. You can buy spiral bound, 50-page index packs, at any office supply store. 
•  
•  Some come in packs of 2, so you can make one for a special teacher-friend as a surprise gift.

• Tuck in a note that says:  “I’m so glad I can count on you!  Here’s wishing you 100-Days and more, of fun this year!”
•  
• I like the index cards that come in pastel or neon colors.

• Office Max has them in a two-pack for $4.79.
• I made several covers for you to choose from.

• Print one, cut it out and glue it to the front of the index card.
• Number them from 1-50 with a WATERCOLOR marker as all others, including a flair, will bleed through.
• Then flip the pack over and finish writing the numbers 51 to 100 on the back pages.

•  I’ve also made the little friend note if you opt to buy a two-pack.
• Tie some curling ribbon around the book, and make someone feel appreciated.
