1-2-3 Come Do Some 100 Day Activities With Me

When I celebrate 100 Days of school, I set up a variety of centers for my students.

100 day crafts, 100 day activities, 100 Day writing prompts, 100 Day bulletin boards, 100 Day bookmarks, 100 Day centers, 100 Day certificates, 100 Day GamesI like to involve a bit of art into at least one of their lessons, so I designed this “Cool To Be 100 Days Smarter” ice cream scoop craft, which involves counting as well as a bit of writing.

100 day crafts, 100 day activities, 100 Day writing prompts, 100 Day bulletin boards, 100 Day bookmarks, 100 Day centers, 100 Day certificates, 100 Day GamesCompleted projects make an interesting and colorful bulletin board.
I’ve included several poster options for the center of your display.
Take a look at the PREVIEW for lots of samples.

100 day crafts, 100 day activities, 100 Day writing prompts, 100 Day bulletin boards, 100 Day bookmarks, 100 Day centers, 100 Day certificates, 100 Day GamesThe craft is very versatile with lots of options.
There are 3 types of ice cream scoops, with 7 bases ( cones, cups, bowls) to choose from.

100 day crafts, 100 day activities, 100 Day writing prompts, 100 Day bulletin boards, 100 Day bookmarks, 100 Day centers, 100 Day certificates, 100 Day GamesPick your favorites or give children a choice, to add more variety to your bulletin board.

100 day crafts, 100 day activities, 100 Day writing prompts, 100 Day bulletin boards, 100 Day bookmarks, 100 Day centers, 100 Day certificates, 100 Day GamesStudents can also add sprinkles, caramel, cherry or chocolate syrup, plus a cherry for the top.

100 day crafts, 100 day activities, 100 Day writing prompts, 100 Day bulletin boards, 100 Day bookmarks, 100 Day centers, 100 Day certificates, 100 Day GamesGoing along with the 100-Day theme, there are 10 scoops, which can be skip counted by 10s, or halved and counted by 5s.

Children can also write numbers 1-10 on the 1st scoop, finishing with numbers 90-100 on the last scoop.

Although scoops look nice plopped in a straight line, suggest making a tilting ice cream cone, or perhaps one with 3 scoops then 2, then the other 5 on top of the double scoop.

Patterns come with & without numbers, so students can write in their own.

100 day crafts, 100 day activities, 100 Day writing prompts, 100 Day bulletin boards, 100 Day bookmarks, 100 Day centers, 100 Day certificates, 100 Day GamesTo add to the counting fun, there’s even a scoop with 100 sprinkles on it, (6 groups of 15 + 1 group of 10) which can be “hinged” to the top scoop with a piece of Scotch tape, then flipped up to reveal a student’s favorite flavor of ice cream, or another writing prompt you deem appropriate.

100 day crafts, 100 day activities, 100 Day writing prompts, 100 Day bulletin boards, 100 Day bookmarks, 100 Day centers, 100 Day certificates, 100 Day GamesBesides the ice cream craft, I’ve also included a writing prompt activity, where students compile a list of interesting and fun things that they've learned in 100 days of school.

100 day crafts, 100 day activities, 100 Day writing prompts, 100 Day bulletin boards, 100 Day bookmarks, 100 Day centers, 100 Day certificates, 100 Day GamesI've also included counting worksheets, where children trace and write the numbers by ones, fives and tens.

some game cards, a “Happy 100 Day!” color-me posterThere are several bookmarks and a certificate of praise you can give your students at the end of your 100th Day of fun. Both patterns come in color as well as black and white.

For your special snack that day, for continued math fun, why not provide ice cream with 10 different topping options.

100 day game dots and boxes, 100 day center activityToday's featured FREEBIE also has a 100 Day theme. It's an old fashioned game called "Dots & Boxes" that's a perfect partner center to practice a variety of math skills, plus strategy.  

The object of the game is to be the last person to connect the last line that will complete a box.

When you complete a box, you get to write your initial in it. I made the grid with 100 boxes. 

Well that's it for today. It continues to snow here in Michigan, which is lovely, but no sunshine and the wind makes it quite bitter outside.

To say I'm longing for spring and super-sick of the cold, is an understatement for sure. 

However, to be alive and healthy is certainly a blessing. Wishing you a warm and wonderful day.

1-2-3 Come Do Some 100 Day Craftivities With Me

There is only so much one can accomplish in a day, and so many super-fun 100 Day ideas, that I decided long ago to do 100-Day activities over several days, culminating with an extra-special celebration on our 100th day of school.

100 day activities, 100 day crafts, 100 day games, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day certificates, 100 day bookmarks, 100 day crowns, 100 day banners, if I were 100 years old template, aging apps for 100 day activities, With that in mind, I designed a variety of quick, easy and fun activities for you to choose from. They make terrific whole group activities, as well as independent centers.  Today I'm featuring a few of our most downloaded 100-Day craftivities.  I hope you like them.   

100 day activities, 100 day crafts, 100 day games, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day certificates, 100 day bookmarks, 100 day crowns, 100 day banners, if I were 100 years old template, aging apps for 100 day activities, After my students complete their "table top" worksheets, they can visit the 100 Day "centers".  I set these up on wooden TV trays, where students can collect the materials they need and return to their desks to complete them. 

Run these "I'm 100 Days Smarter, and That's Something to Smile About!"  100-Day smilie-face bookmarks off, on a variety of pastel-colored construction paper.  Each child chooses one, then counts by 1s to 100, as they fill them in. When everyone is done, count the rows by 5s to also reach 100.  The master template has 5 bookmarks on a page for quick printing.

Again, I give my students a choice of which one they want to color, and use the full color ones as awards for some of our games.

These three 100 Day crowns, helped reinforce counting and were set up as a center. 

Look closely at the pictures and you will see how students made 20 groups of 5 on the 100 Day Rocks crown, as well as 10 groups of 10 on the heart crown

The crown with the circle "jewels" on it, has 104 circles and includes a guess-timation activity.

There is a black and white set, as well as a color set for teachers. 

I've also included a blank 100, if you want your students to draw, dot or sticker 10 different items (10 times each) inside the numbers, to make their own creative crown.

Suggestions and links for apps are included, as well as templates for an "Oldie 100-Day Pennant Banner."

You can get plain white ones or ones in bright or neon colors.  Simply run the banner template off on  a variety of colors of construction paper.  Add school photographs for that finishing touch.  Have students trim and then hang your banner from the ceiling against a wall.

For February, it was the number 100 for our 100th Day of school celebration.

Ripping & tearing is a great fine motor skill.  Simply cut construction paper strips, in a variety of colors. 

I made mine an inch wide.  Students can choose two colors if you want them to do an ABAB pattern, or lots of colors as this child did in the pictured sample. 

I had my Y5's rip up piles of each color, and then using a glue stick, they rubbed the numbers and stuck the torn pieces of paper to them. Completed projects make a wonderful 100 Day bulletin board.

100 day bw puzzles, 100 day activities, 100 day crafts, 100 day games, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day certificates, 100 day bookmarks, 100 day crowns, 100 day banners, if I were 100 years old template, aging apps for 100 day activities, Finally, since the full color 100 Day puzzles were such a huge hit, I thought I'd make some 100 Day number puzzles in black and white, so that your students can choose one and color their own. 

There are 15 puzzles, which help students practice counting from 1-10, count backwards from 10 to 1, as well as skip count by 10s to 100

Treat them as an independent puzzle-center activity, or do as a whole group activity.  For an interesting 100 Day bulletin board, have students glue their puzzle pieces onto a sheet of construction paper.  For an awesome mosaic effect, have children leave a little space in-between each piece.

1-2-3 Come Do A Few More 100 Day Activities With Me

This past week has been focused on 100 Day activities, and I think I'm finally done with my "To Do" list.  Woo Hoo!  I wanted to finish up with a few requests as well as some rather unusual ideas.   I hope you and your kiddo's enjoy them.

Jill, over in Oregon, needed some certificates of achievement for her kinders, who can count to 100 + skip count by 5's and 10's.  

I designed a selection of eighteen 100 Day certificates in both color and black & white.   Click on the link to view/download the 100-Day certificate packet.

One of my Y5's favorites, was their rip and tear 100 rainbow, which provides wonderful fine motor practice. 

You could also review patterning and have students choose 2 or 3 colors to make ABAB or ABCABC etc patterns.

The results turn out really pretty and make a great bulletin board.  Click on the link to grab a copy.  100 Day Rip & Tear Craftivity.

There are quite a few games in the various 100 Day packets, but I wanted to dream up something that teachers could plug in as a "just for fun" activity, if they had a few minutes. 

Young or old can play "Dots and Boxes;" it's a game that was designed by Édouard Lucas, way back in 1889 .  The game is great for the strategy it reinforces +  younger children get practice with the square shape.  I made the grid so that it has 100 boxes, perfect for your 100 Day celebration.  Click on the link to grab a copy. 100 Day Dots and Boxes game.

A few "thinking games" would also be interesting for your students.  Most of them will be pretty familiar with numeric terms such as a million, billion, and trillion, but do any of them know what comes after?  I wondered about really large numbers; so I surfed the net to find out.

See if your students can guess what a higher number might be called.  You could also have them guess how many zeros are in 100 quintillion, or have them research what the largest number is named. 

Webmath  was an extremely helpful site.  You can type in any number, click “pronounce” and it will show you how to say that number.

This would be a great independent computer center for students. Have them type in a number and then share their findings with the class.  

You could also use your smart board to show students what happens when you keep adding zeros to a number like 100.  Since I wanted teachers to be able to incorporate this lesson with their 100 Day activities, I looked up things by 100s and made an anchor chart for you.   Click on the link to view/download What Comes After A Trillion?

Most people know how much time they sleep, but are pretty amazed at how much time they really spend on the computer, phone, or watching TV. 

Run off the 100 hours journal (that's 4 days and 4 hours) and have students keep track.  A graphing extension is also included.  After this activity, challenge students to read more, and social network less.   Click on the link to view/download the 100 Hours Journal.

Finally, whenever I'm doing research, a few zillion more questions and ideas pop into my brain.  I wondered how you say 100 in a different language.  Over an hour later, I had a nice list of 20 ways to say the number.
