Hooray! Today was my first 100th day!

Today was 100th day! I was oh so excited.

As promised, I made my Pinterest T-shirts for myself  and Miss M.We looked  cool:)

( If you want to know how to make these shirts, please see my previous 100th day post!)

As you can see, we  also made the 100 strip hats that I had previously blogged about.

So..... because we are half day kindergarten(AM and PM) there was just no way my kiddos could possibly a)cut out 100 strips, AND b)glue/tape them onto a strip of paper, AND c) then create a hat, AND d)still have time for 100th day centers!

However, being the crazy person I am, (and obviously not so great at math) I insisted that we must do these fabulous hats. 

BUT HOW YOU ASK???

Well, I have been cutting strips for the last two weeks. That's 3000 strips(plus two teacher hats).

 The hats were a HUGE success! The kids loved them, I loved them, everyone loved them! The kids felt so special walking around the school. No other grade or class had cool hats like us! It was worth every strip I cut! 

• We also had a wall of 100 items(each child brought 100 things from home to display)

• We did 100 day centers that included the following:

-The kiddos completed a 100 item scavenger hunt(for example 10 crayons, 10 teachers, 10 chairs)...this required them to go outside our classroom. WE even had to go into the teacher's lounge to find those 10 teachers! They loved it!

-They drew and wrote about what they would do with 100 dollars. Then they each received "100 dollars" to take home!(this was a huge success by the way)

 

-They played the dice game "Race to 100"

-They found out how many times they could write their names in 100 seconds, how many jumping jacks in 100 seconds, etc.

• ZERO THE HERO CAME TO VISIT!
• Oh and did I mention our door even looked kinda cool when the kiddos walked in?

We finished the day off with a special treat.....100th day cookies!

I am exhausted! What a day! I am so happy our 100th day fell on a Friday.... I will definitely need two days to recover!

100th Day

The 100th day of Kindergarten is a really big deal. In fact, the anticipation of Zero the Hero arriving in 10 school days has even me excited. Therefore, I am happy to share with you my random 100th day projects I plan on completing for this very special day!

1) ZERO THE HERO MASCOT! On Friday morning, one of my students asked if Zero the Hero was real, which got me  thinking about a neat post I saw on the Blog, Read Write Sing. 

 Chrissy over at Read Write Sing took a $5.00 doll, a red washcloth, some golden pants from an old Rapunzel doll, and some red thread and WALLLLA!  DONE and DONE! I cannot wait to make something like this for 100th day. Just another reason to go to Target this weekend:) Thanks Chrissy for this brilliant idea!

2) 100th DAY T-SHIRTS FOR MISS M. and MYSELF!  
 Check these puppies out.

F-I-E-R-C-E! 

 Found these over at Mrs. Gilchrist's Class Blog.
The designs are free, but you have to make the shirts :)  All you need are white t-shirts and t-shirt transfer paper(I use Avery Transfer paper, which you can also get at Target!)

3)100th DAY HATS! Pretty cool.. and everyone loves a hat!

I found these cool hats on the blog The Teacher's Wife. According to her post, the students used 100 paper strips and it only took them about 30 minutes! I would probably have the strips already pre-cut.
