100th Day of School!

The Summit celebrated the 100th day of school this week!

First graders started out their day with a writing prompt: “If I had $100…”. Students realized $100 was not as much as they thought! Many were interested in spending their $100 on Pokemon or pets. Others were interested in building giant forts with great snacks or buying a cupcake maker to put in their bedroom!

After our writing prompt, we began our day with a 100-themed morning meeting and morning movement. The 100th day is the most exciting day of the year for calendar math! We got to finally add a digit to our 100s place on the board! We also closed up our 100 block of Digiblocks and marked off our final number on our countdown from 100 to 1.

Next, we did a workout video related to the number 100. We had so much fun with that one! Click here to watch at home!

Throughout the day, we continued our learning of the number 100 with a read aloud of Miss Mingo and the 100th Day of School by Jamie Harper, 100-piece puzzles, and creating a picture out of the number 100.

Next, students worked together to create a class book called “Things We’ve Been Told 100 Times”. Here are the things students have been told 100 times:

“Have a good day!” – Nishtha
“Stay inside the track.” – Keylon
“Do not jump on the furniture.” – Bodhi
“Please do not jump on your bed.” – Milo
“Miss Ursino tells us to wear our masks.” – Ella
“Be careful!” – Eisa
“Ride your bike carefully.” – Paxton
“It’s time for dinner.” – Miles
“Be good at school and wear your mask!” – Hudson
“Be careful on your bike.” – Ava
“Stop climbing on the railing.” – Brewer
“Please be calm at bedtime.” – Gunnar
“Wake up and get ready for school!” – Jenson

We ended our day with a special snack! First graders know well by now that the number 100 is made up of ten groups of ten. We put this into action with our afternoon snack. Students counted out ten pieces of ten different snacks and sorted them on their snack mat paper. After they had create ten groups of ten, they had 100 pieces of yummy things!
