A hundred days can seem like a long time, especially to a kindergartener! So celebrating Hundred's Day is a BIG deal!!!! I am so very proud of my students. Not only was this week Hundred's Day, but it was also the Winter AIMS Web testing week. The progress they showed on their tests of literacy and numeracy was amazing! I met with each of them to conference about their results, and when I showed one of my students the graph of her results, and told her how much her scores improved, she said, "Of course! I am 100 days smarter!"
We made crowns, got Smarties, certificates, and had fun walking through our door hanger all day long!
We did a Hundreds Chart mystery picture, wrote our name as many times as we could in 100 seconds, and took 100 steps on the way to lunch!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our yummy 100's day snack! There were 800 pieces of snack in there! And we ate it all gone!
What does 100 of something look like? We found out at our 100's Day show and tell! We had 100 toys, 100 cars, 100 pennies, 100 linking cubes and tower blocks, 100 markers and crayons, and even a 100 cm pizza!
We wrote stories about what we would do with 100 dollars! Lots of toy and candy buying....
There were a couple of other big events this week as well. Forgot to send home a permission slip for this field trip, but we went to space. Hope you don't mind. :) . I brought them all back again safe and sound. We made some huge boxes into a spaceship and space station. We packed our space packs with snacks and water, and blasted off and hooked onto our space station for snack time! We did some space math as well, since astronauts have to be really good at math!!!
We also watched some videos of real rockets blasting off into space!
Last but not least, the other big event of the week was Chinese New Year! We had an awesomely noisy dragon parade all around the school to scare away the bad luck and ring in the good luck for the year!!!
