We did it! We made it to Day 100!
After reading our morning message during morning meeting, a note magically appeared. After reading the letter, we took a magical and exciting adventure through our school tracking the numbered steps Herman 100, a dragon very fond of the number 100, took around UES to get to Mr. Hennessey's office. It was thrilling - and again we counted and read numbers all the way to 100! Herman 100 is a very special dragon who happens to be very fond of the number 100 and loves to get involved in celebrating Kindergartners special 100th day of school. Herman Hundred graciously left us a prize for tracking him down - a goodie bag with a 100 day pencil and $100 for each of our friends who counted all the way to 100!
Upon returning to the classroom, students returned to the classroom for a fully integrated "100 day" learning across the curriculum. During literacy we read 100 day stories and say a 100 day song. We read 100 books collectively and even read a story about groups of animals at a zoo that totaled 100!
During math we wrote and counted forwards and backwards to 100 and made a cereal necklace - completed with 100 pieces of cereal! We had fun counting our 100 day collection!
