100 jours!

Bravo et Felicitations a la maternelle! We did it. We made it to 100 days. Leading up to our celebration we made some wonderful 100 lunettes that we wore for our celebration. We also imagined "Si j'avais cent dollars...." and decided what we would do if we had 100 dollars. We also worked hard on getting in shape. At about day 70 we started doing exercises to the day count. We celebrated doing 100 exercises yesterday--ending with ten push ups. Superbe! We shared our 100 days projects which were very creative and fun. They are on display in the glass case leading into the LRC. We also put our 100 days snacks into a big bowl to share. Before we put them in the bowl we did some mesuring, predicting and comparing. What a clever group of students. They made very good predictions, comparisons and deductions. Did you know that: 100 popcorn twists weigh the same as 100 pieces of popcorn; they both = 20g 100 teddy graham crackers weigh 100g 100 small fruit twists (hard jujubes) weigh 200g 100 chocolate covered raisins weigh 300 g 100 raisins weigh 50 g We also figured out how to figure out the weight of something by weighing the container with the twists, than weighing it without and then finding out the difference. If was great fun. We ended the day with our care partners helping us group 100 fruit loops into groups of ten and then stringing them onto a necklace for our students to wear home. What a day! Quelle journee! Thank you for your part in making it great.
