Hip Hip Hooray for the 100th Day of School!

Hello Friend!

The 100th day of school is soon approaching and I can’t wait! There is so many wonderful things about the 100th day…For one, there is nothing more adorable than seeing little kids dressed up like 100 year old men and women! It also means we are more than half-way through the school year- yippee!! But most importantly, it is a day filled with so many unique learning activities that promote fun, memorable learning for our students.

To help ensure the 100th day is something you can look forward to and enjoy (instead of stress over and worry about planning) I’m happy to share with you my 100th Day of School Celebration Centers and a FREEBIE.

Since creating these resources a few years ago, my 100th Day celebrations have been fun and easy for me.

I LOVE to invite parents to get involved in our learning and this day is a perfect opportunity to do so. About 2 weeks before the big day I send home a letter asking for volunteers and donations.

On the 100th day, I divide my class into 5 small groups. I have one parent volunteer lead each activity. Each center activity takes about 17-20 minutes to complete. If a student finishes a center early, they go to their desk to independently work on the “Can you find 100?” printable as they wait for others to finish and the class to rotate.

Here is a closer look at the 5 centers my students rotate through on the 100th Day. It usually takes about 2 hours to get through all of them.

The direction cards make it so easy for the volunteer parent to manage the kids. I usually just rotate around the room to assist and take pictures of all the great smiles!

I realize your students may not have the space to move around and complete the “100 Ways to Exercise” center, so this year I created one more activity called “100 Rhyming Words”. It could be used in place of or in addition to one of the other activities, or as a word work center later in the week. I made two versions to share with you. One version has a word and a picture of the word. The other just has a picture, so more advanced students have to use their critical thinking skills to figure out a word family the picture represents.

I made a color and black and white version of each page. Depending how you plan to use it you could copy the black and white version back to back so students could take the printable home, or place a few of the color version in a plastic sleeve to be reused by students in a center. A direction card is also included in the download. 🙂
