Lesideeën voor Rekenen
Via de website Slimmekleuters, kwam ik bij het 100 dagen rekenproject. Een project dat geschikt is om met groep 2 en 3 aan de slag te gaan. Kinderen zijn vaak al vroeg geïnteresseerd in cijfers en getallen. Ook vinden ze het geweldig om 100, 1000, 10.000 te kunnen schrijven of zelfs nog meer! Ik mag... Lees meer »

Lesideeën voor Rekenen
Rekenen met Slimme Kleuters Slimme kleuters in de klas willen graag snel naar de grote getallen: 100, 1000 of ontelbaar! Toch is het verstandig om juist ook aandacht te besteden aan een goed inzicht in de telrij tot 10, 20 en 100. Zo voorkom je dat er in de toekomst hiaten ontstaan. Het 100-dagen rekenproject zorgt voor een goed inzicht in ons 10-tallig systeem. Waarom is 39 iets anders dan 93? Door 100 schooldagen de tel bij te houden en dit zichtbaar te maken met concrete materialen én de schrijfwijze van de getallen, wordt dit voor de kinderen duidelijk. Een zinvol project voor elke groep 2 en groep 3! Naast bovenstaande aanpak, die voor alle kinderen in de groep geschikt is, vind je 25 specifieke opdrachtsuggesties waarbij slimme kleuters worden geprikkeld om op creatieve en analytische wijze aan de slag te gaan rondom cijfers en getallen, de telrij, hoeveelheden, betekenisvolle getallen en nog veel meer. Let op, dit project is een digitale download! Wil je eerst meer weten over hoe bestellen in zijn werk gaat? Klik dan hier.
Juf Lisanne | Thema 6; winter Weer een nieuw pakket met lees- en spellingswerkbladen en spelletjes en opdrachten voor het creatief schrijven. Nu voor thema 6! Ik heb dit thema helemaal in winterse sferen gemaakt 3 Dank je wel juf Lisanne !!!
It's Tuesday--YAY!! It was good to get back to school after a 3 day weekend. My cuties had some great stories to tell me about their day off. So naturally, I had to give them time to chat with friends. After about 5 minutes, we were able to get down to business!! We are gearing up for out 100th day of school in just 2 days! That's right, Thursday is our big day! I have never had kids so excited about it. They talk about it all day long and I think they are just going bust at the seams if it doesn't get here soon!! Every day at calendar time, they can't wait to see what number of day we are on and they are so eager to count how many days we have left! I've been planning out everything I have for the kids! I'm reusing good ideas from last year and of course adding some new ideas that I've come up with for this year! All of my new goodies can be found in my 100th day packet on TpT! Click here to see this packet!! These are a few of the goodies I've got printed and ready to go from my unit above: Here are a few other activities I plan on doing too: I will put each child's name at the bottom of each column and color in this graph for how high they can count! We will do hand prints and then count all of the fingers one at a time until we reach 100! This is a picture of the gumball matching my class made last year. We will do this again this year (I just need to make the base again!) Needless to say I think we are ready for our big day!! Now, it's GIVEAWAY time!! Since I'm ready to go for the 100th day, you should be too! Leave a comment with you email address and tell me when your 100th day will be. I will randomly pick someone to win my 100th day of school unit!! (If you don't want to wait, this unit will be on sale for a few more days! Grab yours soon.)

Last Friday we celebrated the 100th Day of School. Students came to school wearing 100 items of their choice. Then the created their very own $100 bill. We spend the afternoon reading a story, making patterns, designs out of the numbers 1-0-0, making paperclip chains to measure with, and enjoying a 100 snack:)
Wheeeew today was 1 0 0 th day and I'm e-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d, to say the very least! I've been preparing all week it seems! I went to the wonde...
Vandaag rietje 99 in het bekertje gedaan. Maandag komt dus het laatste rietje erin. Ook de muur wordt steeds voller. Wat een ontzettend leuk project. Geen dag vergeten de kinderen om een rietje in het potje te doen. Dit superleuke …

Met het 100-dagenrekenproject oefen je op speelse wijze zicht in de getallenlijn. Zo voorkom je hiaten bij kleuters met een ontwikkelingsvoorsprong.
We have been getting ready for the 100th day of school in our classroom. We have been counting by 10s, by 5s, and by 1s to 100. We have been learning what 100 looks like. We have been exploring 100 in many ways... A yummy activity to practice counting to 100 by tens. If you would like to do this activity with your class, you can find it at Teachers Pay Teachers. Just click on the link or image below: Count-by-10-ice-cream-fun A class quilt to practice counting to 100 by fives. The kids were so excited about this when they came to school and it was all put together and up in the room. They spontaneously broke out into a chant counting. It was wonderful! This activity really helped solidify the concept that ten groups of ten make 100 for my little students. I got this idea from a pin that originally came from For the Love of Kindergarten http://kindergartenfreckleteacher.blogspot.com/2012/02/this-week-in-pictures-and-links-2-62-10.html She has some other fun ideas for 100 and lots of other cool stuff going on in her class last February. This was my take on the paint dots idea. Thanks Cindy! If you would like to get the printable shown in the photo above along with all sorts of other goodies for your class, you can get it here: Print and Go! 100 Days Math and Literacy (NO PREP). You can also do the dot painting this way too. It's fun to make 100 gumballs. This sheet is also in my Print and Go! 100 Days Math and Literacy (NO PREP) . All you have to do is make copies, put out the paint, and you're done! Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! We did the 100s chart puzzles a few days before the actual 100th day. I made them in several colors so that the kids could keep track of their pieces easier. And so that our bulletin board will be more colorful. Ha ha! This is one of the activities the kids did independently on the 100th day. Small groups worked together collaboratively to build a structure with 100 blocks. Looks Great! Another activity that kids had to do independently and collaboratively was to find the 100 hearts hidden around the classroom. They found all but three and worked together to put them in order. They needed 71, 84, and 86. They were hidden in the felt board area in the bag with the felt shapes. Tricky! The hearts are tipped because they were too pointy to stand straight in the pocket chart. Speaking of pocket charts, in this photo, mine sure looks old. Maybe it is time for a new one... We also had a center for the kids to make a bag with 100 snacks. Some teachers call this activity a trail mix. I call it snacks. We do a very simple version of it. I put each of the ten snacks out on a table. Students each have a baggie with their name written on it. They take turns going to each of the snacks and counting out 10 into the baggie. The kiddos were so excited to eat it at recess. Yippee! Each child got to make a special 100s day hat with 100 stickers on it. They look so cute wearing the hats in the classroom. Fun! The most challenging activity of our 100th day was writing about what you would do if you had $100. Most of my students this year decided to spend it. One or two decided to save it. One little boy said he would give it to his family. I thought that was sooooo sweet! Here are a couple of interesting ones: "I would buy a peecok." "I would bi a hol oshin!" I love the kids' drawing and writing! So cute. This prompt is so fun to see what their ideas are about. I do this every year for the 100th day. UPDATE JANUARY 2015: This year, I finally made the time to create all my favorite activities for the 100th day in a time saving, black and white ink saving, Print and Go! pack. If you are looking for some new things or some oldies but goodies that have cute graphics and simple layouts for young students, you should go check it out. (Just click on the image below to go get it.) I hope you have a wonderful 100th day celebration with your sweeties! Happy 100th day! Happy teaching!
The 100th Day of School is one of my favorites! It's very momentous for those little ones. Here are a few ideas for you guys to think about! First, you should try a family project. Ask them to make some sort of project together using 100 items. I got a variety of collections, art work, and very unique posters! Another fun activity is to use this freebie exercises page... This freebie sheet is free on Google Docs, but it is part of my 100th Day pack! Here are some of my kiddos last year working out! Check out this freebie from Anna! Use Scholastic Book Orders to use 100th Day math! Making Words with One Hundred Days This is part of my 100th Day pack as well. :-) Make a school train! Each classroom gets 4 trains (or 1 if you want a small train). Classrooms must decorate with 100 items. We did this at my old school and it turned out really cute! Thanks guys for reading! -Jessica from Second Grade Nest-
One of the teachers in my building made this 100 sign years ago. The kids love walking through the zero. It sets the mood for the day! The hats!! I got the idea from Pinterest to make the 100 days smarter. You can download the hat sign below. We put up 100 flags out front of the school. We make the principal be 100 man! He was a good sport, this is his first year at our school. The gym is full of all the younger grades. He was running in the crowd yelling out facts about 100. 100 Smiles you see The kid loved this station. You can see the recording sheet for where the ball lands. There is a link to the signs at the end of this post. A mom made 100 candy Sushi in honor of YOKO! When the kids found their 100 sign that put this sticker on it. We opened this board up to the whole school. You can constantly see older kids adding to it each day. Below are some of the stations in all of the classrooms. The K/1 team use the same signs each year and work together to share supplies for each classroom. We have lots of parents come in and take the kids around to the stations of their choice. We start at 9 am. Go to the gym at 10:10 for the special presentation come back for a snack. After snack, we go back to stations until 11:30. It is an excellent day for all! click here for sign download click here for hat template Click here for 100-day scavenger hunt
We celebrated the 100th day of school on Friday! The kiddos and a few of us teachers really enjoyed ourselves! This year we tried something new, different, and exciting! We decided to dress up to look like we were 100 years old. So before the big 100th day, I talked to my students about what we might look like when we are that old. Kindergartners have a difficult time understanding age so I told them to think about what their Great-Grandma or Grandpa looks like (even though some great grandparents may still be pretty young, the point still got across to most of them). The kiddos came up with things like: Gray hair, white hair, no hair, wheel chair, cane, and wrinkles. There was some great brainstorming going on but I could tell they weren't quite clear on the type of clothes that one might wear. So I gave them some ideas. This is what we looked like the day of! Although many of my boys looked really great and did a wonderful job dressing the part with canes, vests, suspenders, glasses and fake facial hair, I must say that my one little guy with the orange button up shirt on took the cake! His parents literally SHAVED the top of his head and just left hair around the sides, like he was balding!!!! and then painted on a gray mustache! Hilarious and so creative! Our fun didn't stop there though, we continued by making some 100 day art! We made self portraits of ourselves at 100 years old using construction paper, scissors and glue! Oh and we can't forget the googly eyes! Look at that hair!!! This is a really good close-up of my little guy who shaved his head!!! To top off our already exciting day, we had marshmallow fun! First each student had a sheet of paper with 10 circles on it. Their job was to count out 10 marshmallows for each circle...eating a few along the way of course! Then we counted by 10's. They were so excited that they had 100 marshmallows on their paper, they were literally bouncing off their seats! Once we had counted out 100 marshmallows, I handed out toothpicks and let them make their very own "MARSHMALLOW CREATIONS". They had to use their imagination and of course they had to fuel that imagination with more marshmallows down the hatch! Counting out 100 Marshmallows... Putting together their masterpieces! And so with this came the end of the 100th day of school full of fun, laughter and lots of learning! Linked to Making Math Meaningful at Rainbows Within Reach.

100 Days Of Learning, 100 Days of Fun, 100 Days of Wonderful Things We Have Done! Today was one of my favorite days in kindergarten... The 100th Day of School! And this year we had to wait long due to snow days and a late September start! But all that waiting was worth it...and when your kinders exclaim that school is so much fun and the best place in the world, you know you are doing your job right! Yesterday we made our hats so they were all dry and waiting for us! They came out great and weren't too tough to make (you just need a bit of time and a lot of staples!) 5 strips that are 1.5 in x 14 in 100 Day Smarter tag Sentence strip Dot painters and/or stickers Students put 20 stamps each on 4 of the strips and one strip got 20 stickers. Measure their head with the sentence strip and staple the tag to the front. Then criss-cross the strips over and back until they are all attached! They came in this morning to find the HUGE 100 greeting them, as well as a special pencil to use all day and 100 monocles to decorate! If they finished early they could work on the number ordering puzzle too! Once we all had our hats in place, 100 day projects on (they had to wear something with 100 of something on it) and monocles in place we went to seek out where 100 steps from our classroom would bring us! Here we all are ready to go.... And we found it...100 steps brought us right near the gym and music rooms! We marked the place in the hall with a giant foot so that everyone that passes knows! We read Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the 100th Day of Kindergarten and then they all knew why Mrs. Drake had an apron with 100 ribbons...I was Miss Bindergarten today!! We also each traced a hand (luckily we are 20) and when we counted all the fingers we had 100! We turned them into a fun rainbow arching over our door! Other Fun.... For Writing we are working in a 'How To' unit! So...today we wrote about 'How To Spend $100!' Their take on money cracks me up! Just look at some of their amazing writing and fabulous ideas! Nearly all of them were done independently! I go to the spa. And get my nail done. And my nails are beautiful. I will go to the movies. I will buy a ticket. I watch the movie. I am going to the toys store. I pick out a toy. I pay. I go to the grocery store. I pay for pizza. I leave the store and go home. I would go to the aquarium. Look at the sea animals. I said thank you. Aren't they great!!!!!! I was so proud of them- and the stories made my day!!!! If you want to try it with your students simply click on the pictures above (or here) to download a copy for free! While they were at their special I set up our afternoon fun! I hid 100 kisses around the room- each kiss had a number on the bottom (circle dot stickers fit perfectly)! Rules: Find a kiss, match its number to the number on the pocketchart, go find another! Starting out... Finding our numbers and matching them... Found them all! Each got 5 kisses to snack on later on! Our afternoon was filled with building in 7 different '100' stations and recording our creations! There were 100 paper cups... (a flower) WOW!!!! 100 Lincoln Logs... 100 Foam Blocks... 100 Pattern Blocks... (a snake) (a rodeo) (Queen Elsa's crown!) 100 Squares... 100 Connecting Cubes... And 100 Mega Blocks (but I guess I didn't grab any pics of those!) Here are our recording sheets when we were all done! Each group traveled with their markers so tomorrow we can 're trace' our steps and talk a bit more about what we built! But that wasn't it! Time for our 100 Snack! Thanks to generous donations by parents, we were treated to a bag full of 100 snack foods each! And to end the day, each of my little 100 day smart cookies brought this home... You can find the tag for FREE in my Teachers Pay Teachers Store by clicking the picture! Phew! It was a tiring day...but one I know my students will never forget...and as for counting to 100- we are all pros now! And lucky for me by 2 boys were also celebrating the 100th day of preschool today, so they got a special 100 lunch... The cookie bags I made for my boys used the mini cookies- and they brought a bag for each of their teachers and teaching assistants today too! So I can't let tomorrow be a let-down after all the excitement of 100! We will celebrate day '101' by making some Dalmatian hats! As for me....I am ready for a nap...it was a fun day for all and I wouldn't have had it any other way! I'd also love to hear how you spent your 100 Day! I am always looking for new ideas to try out! If you are looking for some '100 Day' resources, be sure to check out my TpT Store: Have a great 100 Day Celebration! Until next post,
Can somebody tell me how it’s almost the 100th day of school?! I’m not complaining. Trust me. But really?! I feel like the years just go by quicker and quicker! I’m sure y’all are like me on the 100th day. Scrambling around like a chicken with your head cut off trying desperately to fit everything …

Reflections on the busy days of a kindergarten teacher
today is the 100th day of school at my children's school. i came across this adorable self-portrait idea on pinterest and thought it would ...

Our first grade celebration of the 100th day of School is just a few days away. I think I have too many activities planned. But better to have too many than too few, r i g h t ? Hopefully my sweet students are working on their projects to show and share on that day. They have to make a 100th Day t-shirts. If you're not familiar, students can paint, draw, glue, stick, stitch (with help), pin (you get the picture) anything to their shirts to represent 100. It's always pretty fun to see what they come up with each year. I wanted to share one activity we will be using during the week leading up to the 100th Day. Students will be making a little 100th Day cutie to help them practice their spelling words. If you click on the picture below you can have your own copy of this craftivity for free. The pattern also includes a recording sheet for a 100th Day writing assignment. It will be best if you use construction paper colors to match the features of the each student in your class. I used scrapbook paper for the arms of my samples. But, plain construction paper will work just as well. You may also want to play around with the positioning of the arms. The clip art on the recording sheets is from Melonheadz. *Please note, this pattern has been updated with legs and feet. However, you can still make it the same as pictured above even with the updates) I hope you and your class have a fun day of learning on your 100th Day of School. Let me know if you have any questions about this project. Have a great week.
Hooray!! We just had a super fun and exciting 100 day celebration in our classroom. Each sweet little student made a 100 hat with either tally marks or 100 stickers on it. Each kiddo also got a 100 day completion certificate like the one I am holding. (You can find that here: Print and Go! 100 Days Math and Literacy) I felt so happy that we had a successful 100th day together, I was bold and posted this "selfie" (taken by my friend Bria) on Instagram yesterday. Yikes! You will see the reason this picture is here on the bottom of the post. Do you ever do count downs in your classroom? I try to do this whenever the kids express curiosity in how many days are left until some special event. First, we collaboratively figure out how many days are left and then I make the number in tally marks. We erase one each day and use the tally marks to determine how many days are still left. They love it and it builds anticipation. You have to make sure your class can handle the added excitement if you do this and make sure you put on a great day so it lives up to expectations. I like to do collaborative 100 activities in the classroom before the day arrives. This bulletin board is showing all the books we read during the week of the 100th day. It is really easy to accomplish this if you include books from guided reading and independent reading practice. I write the title and author on each paper and the student writes his/her name. You can see them better here: The kids are always really proud to see that we are collaboratively reading over 100 books per week on a regular basis. You can grab these book recording papers to make your own bulletin board for FREE at the bottom of this post. I also did a 100 acts of kindness project with my class a couple years ago. Here is the bulletin board while the project was in progress: I was really proud of this group when they were actively trying to do kind things at school each day. It was such a sweet activity. Each time a student did something kind, we wrote out the act with his/her name on a heart and put it up on the board. This year, we did a project based homework activity where each child brought in something that s/he had made with 100 objects. I was so impressed with the outcomes. There were several buildings made with plastic building blocks. There was a cool necklace and we also had 100 hearts on a string which my sweet little student wants to keep in the classroom as a decoration for Valentines Day. I said YES! Here are a few others that were really fun: 100 beads to make the number. 100 leaves and other natural elements to make a sweet art piece. This was named "Dollar Man" during our walk and talk discussion time to look at all the projects. The kids did such a nice job of making positive comments and asking great questions about their friends' work. Everyone in our class was impressed with this amazing sculpture made with 100 plastic items. Many kids wanted to know how it was glued together. We found out that hot glue was used by about 6 out of 20 students to do these 100 item projects. This was another favorite with our class. The 100 button tree is absolutely beautiful. Ahhh... I always do the 100 days snack activity. It is a favorite with students and one of the things they remember long into their older years. This is a simple activity to accomplish if you don't mind shopping for the goodies. Here is an example of how my kiddos count out 10 each of 10 snacks: YUM! That mat is from my Print and Go! 100 days pack. It has lots of black and white printables to help you with your 100 day celebration. The kiddos take the mat around the table of treats and count out ten of each on each of the circles. When the mat is full, they fold it and slide the snacks into a plastic zip bag with their name on it. Easy and FUN! I also like to have my kiddos write about what they would do with $100 every year. I leave this prompt open ended (what would you do rather than what would you buy). I love it when kids decide they would save the money. Every year I have at least one or two that say they would save it. I have even had kids say they would give it to charity. Wow! Here are a couple of really cute ones: "I would save it for the Disney Hotel. I would meet Mickey and Minny." " I would save a $100 bill and I would put it into a treasure chest." OK, this is my favorite activity. Do you do an estimation station for your 100th day celebration? I love doing this because it is a great critical thinking challenge for your young students. There are many ways to do this type of activity and you can find it on blogs all over the net. This is just the way I have always done it. You might want to do this after your kids have had plenty of experiences with estimation using different sized objects in the jars you plan to use for the activity. We did estimation each day for two weeks leading up to this. One jar has more than 100, one jar has less than 100, and one jar has exactly 100. Do you know which one is which? Most of my kindergarten students guessed right! I was so proud of them. Here are some examples of the work from this activity. Here are the actual numbers: Yes, this activity is in my Print and Go! 100 days pack too. That pack has been such a huge help to me. It also includes estimation practice sheets so you can lead up to the activity above. These are what the practice sheets look like. There are four on an 8.5 X 11 inch page. Another fun activity we did this year is using an iPad app to make our photos look like we are 100 years old. It was a free app and it works! I know I should be embarrassed to post this picture of myself. Time for true confessions here. I took this at 6:00 am the morning of my 100th day. I had another technology activity planned, but after talking to a friend the day before, I decided to do this because she had done it too. So, remember, this is no make up, no smile, bed head, and NO COFFEE! I was testing the app to make sure it worked. Boy, does it ever work! My husband was horrified when he saw this picture. But my kiddos were absolutely in stitches! They thought it was hilarious and were so excited to make one of themselves. So, each student had a photo taken with the iPad and then we printed out the "100 years old" photos on my classroom printer. It was fantastic! We were having so much fun with it that we also took pics of our principal and the school secretary as well as all the parent helpers in the room. I can honestly say that this app made my adorable 5 and 6 year old students look like senior citizens. We are going to use the photos to write about being 100 years old next week. This is the app I used: Aging Booth by PiVi & Co. It was FREE and it worked great for my students in my classroom. Go back to the top to compare this photo with what I really look like. Ha ha!

Wow! I can't believe we have already reached the 100th day of school! I love my class and I knew they were going to enjoy all the things I had in store for them. Monday was our 100th day. I planned 3 centers for the morning: 1. 100th Day Crown 2. 100th Day Snack 3. 100th Day Necklace 1. 100th Day Crown The Friday before, I started gathering all of the materials at school to make their cute 100th Day crown. I used sentence strips and 5 different colors of construction paper. I cut the paper into one-inch strips. Earlier in the week I printed off the "I am 100 days smarter!" headers. I originally made those last year, so I was glad they were already on my computer - one less thing I had to make. Since it was Friday, I was ready to get home, so I gathered everything up and packed it all, to be continued at home. Here are a couple of pictures of the process. This first one was taken at school. So at home on Sunday afternoon, I finished the project. I glued down the strips of construction paper about one inch apart, intentionally leaving about 4 to 6 inches on one end for sizing and stapling. Once I had glued down one set of strips, I repeated the pattern so that there were 10 strips. Here is the set up at the center table with bingo daubers. I put the rest of them on their desks and told them to pick them up and carry then to the table when it was their turn. So you will see them on a few student desks in other pics, even though they are working on a different activity. Here are three of my sweeties working on their awesome crowns. I put out my bingo daubers for my kiddos to choose from. With ten strips, they stamped 10 dots on each strip, making 100 dots. The sweetie in the white shirt in the picture got a little "dot-happy" and dotted the sentence strip portion too, before I could stop her. Oh well, I couldn't bring myself to tell her she had way more than 100 dots. LOL When they finished, they took their crowns to their desk to dry. That opened up the space for another group to come to the table. To finish it off, I sized the sentence strip around each student's head, then stapled it together. Lastly, I took hold of the end of each strip, laying the ends on top of one another. Then I stapled all the ends together, making a crown. They were so pumped to get to show off their new "I'm 100 Days Smarter" crowns as we walked to the lunchroom! I got the original idea for this crown from Pinterest. I tried following the link to Mrs Morrow's Kindergarteners, but it was only available to invited members. She used stickers, but I like the bingo dauber dots, and my kids love anything to do with PAINT! 2. 100th Day Snack A week ahead of time, I sent out a letter to parents requesting a variety of snacks that we easily count to make our trail-mix style snack. This list included the following: bowls, Chex cereal, Cherioes cereal, gummy bears, raisins, marshmallows, Skittles, M&Ms, chocolate morsels, Goldfish, and red hots. Ten snacks. Friday evening, before I left school, I assessed what students had brought. I stopped by the store and picked up chocolate morsels (a student forgot to bring them) and a couple of extra bags of gummy bears. Monday morning, even before the kids got to school, I began setting everything out, but this took a lot more time than I had remembered from last year. So, if you think you want to do this too, have some engaging morning work out for them to do independently in case you need a few extra minutes to finish the set up. I put out two sets of snacks. One set for the left side of the table and one for the right side. I set out hundred boards for my kiddos to use for counting their snack. Ten frames or other sorting mats would work great too, but I just love using my hundred boards for counting on the 100th Day of School. The idea... 10 rows of each of the 10 snacks makes 100 snacks. In this picture, you can see another group of kids working at their desks. They are working on the third center activity, the 100 Day Necklace. Once their board was complete, together we slid their yummy snacks into a baggie and zipped it up for them to hold until morning recess. Our recess is at 10:40, so I knew this activity had to be completed by then. You may want to keep your snack or recess time in mind as you plan out your day. They all thought it was funny that I made myself a snack bag as well. YUM! 3. The 100th Day Necklace In my parent letter, I also asked for a box of Fruit Loops. I went to Hobby Lobby to find my Rexlace. It only cost a couple of dollars. I cut strips about 4 feet long. That is more than you will need, but that length will give you enough to tie the knot. To keep the front loops from falling off, I put a small paperclip on one end. I had students use a hundred chart to layout their Fruit loops, so they could be more accurate, than if they were simply counting as they put the cereal on their string. This worked GREAT! First graders loose their place easily when counting if they are distracted, so using the hundred chart is a helpful tool for all sorts of counting activities. When their hundred chart was full, they began threading their cereal onto their Rexlace. I made these numbered tabs to indicate each group of 10 Fruit Loops. (Aren't they cute?) There were two sets to a page. I printed them at home so I could have color (only a black and white printer at school), cut them out, punched a hole in the top and packed each set into a snack size baggie. The next day, all I had to do was lay out a baggie on everyone's desk along with this "My 100th Day Necklace" sheet. I wish I knew where I got this, but its at school and I'm typing this post at home. I'll try to remember to look and come back to post the link. Here's what they looked like before I tied them off. Rexlace is very slippery, so you'll need to tie a good and tight knot to keep the necklaces together, but mine worked great. Using the numbered tabs really helped me quickly check to make sure the correct amount of cereal was on each student's necklace. For example, when there are only 6 Fruit Loops between two numbered tabs, it is easy to spot the difference in length, compared to all the other length segments on the necklace. THE FINISHED PRODUCT! Both crown and necklace This little jokester, thought he looked so funny peeking through the strips! These three activities and recess took up our morning. After lunch we read the book 100 Hungry Ants, which they absolutely love. It is a perfect book for the hundredth day of school for most any elementary class. Click on the picture if you want to pick up a copy for yourself from Amazon. You can get your own classroom copy of this book by clicking on the link below. Afterwards, we walked around the room using our clip boards, to write 100 words. We stacked 100 pennies. We painted 100 dots. They LOVE PAINTING! EXTRA: 100th Day Puzzle We put together this Hundred Day puzzle, and oh my goodness, this was one of their favorites! They loved that they were making a puzzle that they could put back together later! First, I had them glue it to a piece of construction paper. I suggest glue sticks, but a generous amount. Liquid glue makes paper buckle. The construction paper made it more sturdy and gave them a colorful back. You could also print them on card stock. Next, they carefully cut out each piece. I always demonstrate the best way to cut. First graders need to see you model how to cut things. Then under my document camera we put my puzzle together as a whole group, and they saw that if they counted by tens correctly, that would put their puzzle together correctly. They were eager beavers to get to their puzzles! After it was put together, they colored it. Again, I modeled how to do this as well. (This took a lot of time too. I'm just saying! LOL) They turned out great! I gave each kiddo a baggie to hold their puzzle pieces. If you would like a FREE copy of this puzzle, click here.
