Wow. Have I been a slacker or what?! Let's just say my first year of teaching was a little too overwhelming in itself to keep up with a blog of it all! Now that I'm in second year, I really want to document some of the fun things that I'm doing, so I'm going to try really hard to keep up with it better.
To start off my blogging rejuvenation, some things I did on the 100th day of school! Yeah, we're on the downward slope!! It kind of snuck up on me, so it really wasn't too spectacular this year. We started the celebration off with some doughnuts (treats are
always a hit)!
And then we did just a few activities. First, the students wrote their numbers to 100 to put in their portfolios. Then they did a writing activity, "If I had $100 I would buy a ________" and finished off by drawing a picture of what they think they will look like in 100 years. Should've taken some pictures of those beauties! One student drew himself with a halo and wings. He said he doesn't think he'll last quite that long. :)
Last year we had a 100 parade and each student brought a collection of 100 small things from their house (e.g. pennies, cereal, paper clips, etc.). It was so fun and would be a great opportunity to practice counting large amounts by grouping in 10's. We didn't get to it this year because, like I said, it just snuck right up on me!
