It finally came...the day we have been waiting for ... OUR 100TH DAY CELEBRATION!!!!!! We had soooooo much fun! But you don't have to take my word for it - like they say - a picture is worth a thousand words...... so here we go...
Our plan for the day
Welcome to our 100th day celebration
Making new words from the words "one hundred".
Recording our words
Making our 100 day trail mix ---YUMMY!!!!
"Finger" painting our 100 day hats
The boys and girls made 10 fingers prints on 10 different colored strips of paper for a total of 100 finger prints
Our 100 day hats
Oops! Out of order - a close up look at our 100 day
trail mix sorting sheet.
Working on our 100 link chain
Looking good - the kiddos are wearing their 100 day glasses
Team work
Our chain is finished---beautiful!
100 gumballs!
Working on our very hungry caterpillar --- 100 circles long. The boys and girls made the circles from green squares. Then they worked with Miss Topp and came up with a list of 50 foods for our very hungry caterpillar to eat - two of each kind, of course!
Here he is!!! (Looks like January has been a busy month!)
The favorite activity of all the Kindergarten classes ---the 100 Hershey Kiss hunt. 100 Hershey Kisses were hidden around the room. Each candy had a number written on the bottom. The boys and girls walked around the room and when they found ONE kiss they could come up to the chart to match the numbers. At the end of the day, the candies were divided up between the boys and girls and added to their baggies of trail mix. We found all but
one --- I am sure it will show up.........eventually!!!
Ready --- Set --- GO!!!!
I found the one with the number 100!!!
Can I eat this one, PLEASE!
The boys and girls worked in small groups to build ice cream cones. We practiced counting by tens....
...and by fives.
Each student then recorded their numbers.
We also enjoyed yummy cupcakes, which the boys and girls frosted themselves and some punch.
Zero the Hero also paid us a visit!!!
Here are the projects the boys and girls shared. Each child along with their family was to bring 100 of anything. I know I have the most creative parents in Nebraska!!!
Cooper brought 100 kernels of corn. Cooper's observation, "Mrs. Straight, you know 100 seemed like such a big number but it doesn't really make very much corn!" Yep, I know, I have a class of "smarties"!
Brook emptied his piggy bank. With mom's help, he counted out 100 different coins.
Hayle had a little help from mom as they worked together in the kitchen to make a rainbow made from Skittles.
Keyfer and his mom made G.I. Joe snowman. They used 37 cotton balls, 58 Cheerios and 5 pretzels for a grand total of 100 items!!!
Megan and her mom worked together to make a heart decorated with all kinds of beautiful hearts. Glitter hearts, red hearts, pink hearts --- just in time for Valentine's Day!
Myles collected 100 different animal stickers. His plans - to draw all different kinds of land for all of his animal stickers. I love creativity!!
Natalie and her mom glued 100 pretty beads onto a wonderfully decorated paper. Mom had to use the hot glue gun though, I was told.
Nevaeh and her mom worked on this beautiful egg carton - that is right - egg carton bouquet! Neveah painted them and mom put the holes in them and added the pipe cleaners. It took five days. Makes me wish Spring was already here!
Kortney made her cat Bon Jovi using 100 cotton balls that mom spray painted. Little sister Kadance tried to help too!
Joshua made a necklace with 100 Fruit Loops. His plans --- to eat them!
Reagan made a necklace with 100 beads. Included in those 100 beads is the following "Reagan 100 Days". I love it!
Hunter and his Papa worked together and made this very cool log cabin. Hunter reported to us it took a lot of days to make!

Savannah is gorgeous in her pink necklace made from 100 beads and the beautiful heart. She got the kit for Christmas!
We had a great day!!!! But I think we wore our teacher out!!!!

HAPPY 100 DAYS OF KINDERGARTEN!
