Ladies and Gentlemen ...It's the moment you have all been waiting for... THE 100th DAY of SCHOOL!!!!
This week, we celebrated the 100th day of school with movement, food, math and a whole lot of fun!
We began the day by filling bags with one hundred snacks! There were 10 plates on the table with a different snack on each. The children counted by tens as they filled their bags with 10 of each snack in order to make 100 snacks!
Next, we put on our hats and necklaces and joined the other kindergartens for a 100 day celebration! We play
ed 100 number bingo, did 100 exercises and worked with our friends from the other classes to create something out of 100 of a certain item (paperclips, cups, pipecleaners etc.).
We ended the celebration by filling a poster with the number 100 on it with pennies we had brought from home. This money will be given to tzedakah!
When we returned to the classroom we played a game in which a group of children sat with a 100 number board. They took turns rolling the dice and added the two numbers toge
ther. They crossed out the number combined by the dice on their board and kept doing so until someone reached the number 100! Other children worked on a different type of chart in which they were provided with a board with the numbers 1 through 100 on it. They were also given stickers with different numbers on it. They worked together to match the stickers to the correct number until the whole board was filled!
We ended the day with a cake and are looking forward to the next 100 days of school!
en classes in the cafeteria for a special celebration consisting of Bingo, 100 invigorating exercises and working with children from other classes to make something out of 100 objects, we returned to our classroom.
we would work collaboratively to find the 100 hidden hearts. For five minutes the class exhibited team work in their search for the hearts. They cooperated with each other as they searched in every nook and cranny in the room. The count began, "97 - 98 - 99". We were one short. The children were happy but a little disappointed. Gan Daled began to clean the room and a minute later Jacob Horn shouted, "I found it!" and waved the 100th heart in the air. The cheering resounded through the Early Childhood hallway. A little heart went a long way in showing Gan Daled how working together pays off.
sashes. All of the gans got together in the cafeteria to celebrate - playing bingo, exercising, and making objects of art using 100 different things. In our classroom, we counted out 10 different kinds of snacks - 10 each. Counting by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's to 100 was the order of the day, including Joey giving Morah Marcia 100 hugs. In addition, the class went on a special treasure hunt - finding 100 pennies that were hidden around the room. We completed the day with the story "Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the 100th Day of Kindergarten." Wouldn't you like to be in Gan Gimmel?
