100th Day of School - 1st Grade

We celebrated the 100th day of school by bringing in 100 of the same items and giving clues to the students so they could guess what we brought in. We made a pennant to go over our classroom door to celebrate that we are 100 days smarter, we made a special snack while counting to 100; and we did other activities in the classroom.
