100th Day Celebration

Mathboy hit a milestone  - 100 Days of School!   Mama hit a milestone too, with my 2nd child reaching the 100th day of Kindergarten.  We like to celebrate with a day of all things 100.  

Just a note - if you calculate that we just finished 22 weeks of countries plus 2 or 3 weeks of Christmas that comes out to well over 100 - but we did not do his 1st grade curriculum each week and it's 100 days of Mathboy doing his curriculum workbook.  We had a handful of weeks of not doing the numbered days in there.   Also, to MFW users:  Mathboy was bothered by the fact that the number of the day didn't correspond to the day # on the workbook pages, so we did the number of the day on Exploration day to keep up. 

Fortunately, I saved the activities list that Bookgirl did for her 100's day and also a Hundred's in the Bible sheet I made.   We used many of the same activities this time around.  Here's a list of some things we did:


  • Made a poster with 10 groups of 10 things

  • Made crowns with 100 on them

  • Finished his 100's chart

  • Added the last penny to his cup, and converted it to $1.00

  • Finished his place value sticks and talked about place values in the 100's

  • Read books with 100 in them (thanks to the library)

  • Did Bible Worksheet

  • Outside activities:

  • Measured 100 of Daddy's steps

  • Measured 100 of Mathboy's steps

  • Many many races

  • Hopscotch by 5's

  • Figured out what year it will be when each of us turns 100

  • Asked silly questions like "what would you do with 100 popsicles" and "what would you do with 100 elephants"

  • Had food shaped like 100 for dinner
Congratulations Mathboy!
