100th Day of School Celebration!

100th Day of School Activities

Congratulations! You have almost made it to the 100th day of school! I'm sure watching your students grow and improve has been amazing. In Kindergarten, it is exciting to see how much your students learn and grow within a year. You take many of them from knowing nothing to being able to write, read, add, and subtract within a year. The 100th day of school, specifically, is a huge milestone, especially for younger students. In Kindergarten, the 100th day is filled with themed activities and games to celebrate your students' hard work so far. Here are some activities that you and your students can do to celebrate the 100th day:

3. 100th Day Stations

     All of these stations do require specific materials and pre-planning. 

• 100 Cup Structure- Students stack 100 cups as high as they can without it falling down. Dixie cups are inexpensive and easy for the students to build with.
• Build 100 Legos- This station can be independent or collaborative. Students can work together to build a structure with 100 Lego's or you can put 100 Lego's in crayon boxes, so students can build individually.
• 100 Gumballs- Students get a picture of a gum ball machine and use bingo daubers to put 100 gums balls in the machine.
• 100 Beads Necklace- Students use string and beads to create a necklace. Students use a mat to count out 100 beads by tens and then string them on.
• 100 Marshmallows Build- Students use marshmallows and tooth picks to create structures. The goal is to create a structure the reaches as high as it can go, using 100 marshmallows.

This 100th day craft is adorable and allows for students to use their imagination. There is no limit to the creativity that this craft allows. Each student gets the number 100 and can use/position the numbers to create their own picture. Students can draw their picture using the number 100 and then color or paint it. 

This hand print quilt allows student to practice counting to 100 by 5's and create a small piece of a larger work. Each student gets small square to trace their hand on (some kiddos may need help with this 😊). Once their hand is traced they can color or it paint it any way that they want. Then the individual hands will be glued on bulletin board paper to create a large hand print quilt. Students will count aloud to 100 by 5's and you will write each number that they say next to the hand prints. 

These are just a few ideas to help you and your students celebrate the 100th day of school. I hope your 100th day of school is filled with excitement and the rest of your year goes great!
