We celebrated this milestone day of school on Tuesday. Throughout the day, we enjoyed many activities and projects that had to do with the number 100. Students enjoyed imagining what they might look and act like at 100 years old for a creative writing project. They enjoyed designing movement breaks by thinking of ten different exercises and repeating each one ten times. We also read two stories about the number 100 - William's 100th Day of School and One Hundred Hungry Ants. Then, we counted in many different ways to 100 (ones, twos, fives and tens). Students created a counting by 5s cupcake project and a name pattern on a 100 grid!
Writing
We planned and wrote the beginnings of our third narratives - all about snow day adventures. After listening to The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats, students brainstormed a class list of snowy day adventures. Ideas included going snowboarding for the first time, having a snowball fight with siblings, going tubing and building a snowman. Our writers thought about the beginning, middle and endings of their own stories and drew pictures for each part, in the proper order. We began to write sentences to go with our illustrations and we will continue to work on these next week. Our goal is to share these with you during conferences in a couple weeks!
