100th Day of School!


What a crazy past week it has been! We had our first "snow" of the year, causing two short days and one full SNOW day! Needless to say, first grade was WILD this week. Tuesday we spent the morning celebrating our 100th day of school. I can't believe this year is flying by so fast.

I love to decorate the door. The children get so excited over something so simple. I just use regular bulletin board paper and cut it into strips.


When the kids arrived, they just stood outside the door! They weren't sure how exactly to come through. It was adorable! 

Our morning message was all about the 100th day, too! I'll eventually get around to doing a post all about my morning messages. :-) This is one of my favorite ways to start the day and it truly builds a sense of community in the classroom.


We spent the morning in 5 super fun centers all "centered" around the number 100! 


We made 100th day of school books. Each page had a different, brief writing prompt. 


The children wrote what they would buy with $100. There concept of money is so great! They think $100 will buy anything. I wish!


We write 100 sight words and wrote our numbers to 100. Our super cute crowns say," 100 Days Smarter!" As a group, we made a trail mix of 10 different groups of 10 food items.


The kids truly have learned so much over the past 100 days. It is so much fun being their teacher!

To round out our super exciting week, we took a field trip to the Ringling Brothers' Circus. My sweet firsties had the best time!! It was so cool seeing their little faces light up! I must admit, I loved every second of it!
