The 100th day of school finally arrived and the kids couldn’t be happier with the fun activities that were waiting for them when they entered through the decorative 100 day sign.
Throughout the week the students created a 100 day quilt with 100 water colored pieces. B’s is #66.

Looking for some great classroom activities? Try these.
What You Need:
- Box of “Froot Loops” or other similar rainbow-colored “o” cereal
- Length of clean string, about 24″
- Scotch tape
What You Do:
- To prepare for this activity start by cutting a small length (about ½”) of scotch tape. Wrap it tightly around one end of the string to form a firm end, sort of like a shoelace tip. This helps little hands get strings through the holes in the cereal.
- Help your child tie a firm knot about 2″ from the other end of the string.
- Pour out a large bowl of the cereal, and explain to him that he’ll be making a necklace using exactly 100 of these o’s. Here’s the catch: in keeping with primary math standards, you’ll be doing this a special way, counting by tens.
- Have him start with ten o’s of one color, and string them on.
- He’ll then move on to 10 pieces of a different color, and so on up to 100, until he completes a full rainbow necklace.
- These necklaces usually look great and are lots of fun to make. But before you tie it off and place it on his neck, take a minute to savor some important learning. Stretch the string lengthwise on a table, and invite him to join you in counting off by tens!
And to end the day, I made these little 100 day smart cookies for each kid to take home…
As for me….I am ready for a nap…it was a fun day for all and I wouldn’t have had it any other way!
I’d also love to hear how you spent your 100 Day! I am always looking for new ideas to try out!
