Friday, February 18, 2005 was 100's day at Pennekamp!  100's day is traditionally held on (or near) the 100th day of school and the first and second grades celebrate the number 100 via a variety of activities.  

In several classrooms, students placed 100 stickers on a 100s day bookmark.  Covering the bookmark was easy.  Making sure there were exactly 100 stickers--well, that was a bit trickier!

In some of the rooms, children had to visualize what they would look like 

at 100 years of age

and then create a sketch.

Despite the weather, the bubble activity where students had to blow 100 bubbles was a hit.  As they soon discovered, blowing the bubbles wasn't difficult.  Counting them before they blew away proved to be a bit more challenging!

Another activity was the 100 square name quilt.  Students had to fill in a 10x10 grid using the letters in their name and then color the squares in according to their unique patterns. 

And finally, the roll and tally a die 100 times

where students predicted which number they thought would appear most often,  

and in teams of 2 or 3, they would roll and tally their results.   Using tally marks and rolling exactly 100 times was a lot of fun!
