100th Day {part 2}

 

Did you catch yesterday’s post about our part 1 of our 100th Day celebration? We are still finishing up some of our activities. Here is a few more things we have done!

………………

I labeled different containers and put random objects in each.

We pass each container around and my wrote YES if they thought it had 100 items and NO if they thought it didn’t.

The number labels and recording sheet are in my 100th Day Unit.

When my students were done we counted each container and we made a tally mark chart to see who got the most correct. Even I did it and I missed several of them. {I did not count the objects when I was filling the containers.}

………………

Hide these cupcake numbers around the room and let students find them and put them in order in a class pocket chart. I only let four kids look for the numbers at a time. They can each find four numbers then they go put their numbers in the pocket chart and the next four go look for numbers. Otherwise.. it would be total chaos and I don’t do chaos! {at ALL!} We have also used these cards for tons of other activities this week too! They are in my 100th Day Unit.

………………

Did you see our BIG fish bowl yesterday?

We also cut 100 hearts! Love these projects! They are quick and super easy but turn out cute. The patterns are also in my 100th Day Unit.

Let’s Count to 100 by Masayuki Sebe

………………

We cut 100 fish and put into a huge fishbowl.

The fish patterns are included in my 100th day Unit.

………………

Read the room cards with number. Counting to 100 by 5’s.

These cards and recording sheet are also in my 100th Day Unit.

………………

Count each color stars and write how many.

Also included in my 100th Day Unit.

………………

All week we are using these counting sheets.

They are in the 100th Day Unit too.

………………

We made 100 tally marks using popsicle sticks.

One little boy said, “Somebody had to eat a whole lot of popsicles to save this many sticks.” Then I broke his heart when I told him he  you can buy popsicle sticks at Walmart! HA!

………………

I put these 4 posters up for  about 20 seconds and told my students to write the number poster they thought had 100 shapes on it. These are in my 100th Day Unit.

………………

These 100 books are also in my 100th Day Unit. I have used them before with stickers and markers. I was going to ask my students each to bring in a pack of stickers- but I decided to skip that this year.

Drawing 10 groups of easy pictures is a great and easy idea too!

………………

These are some of our class “ziplock bag” projects. The cute oval tags are from Erica Bohrer. 

………………

And we enjoyed a little sweet treat today too!

Come back tomorrow for part 2 of our 100th day celebration!

Five for Friday {Linky Party….January 25}

 

Here are 5 random things from this week.. HAPPY FRIDAY!

………………………

1. We have a fabulous art program at our school.. and every year we participate in the private school’s district and state competition. Each class gets 5 pictures selected.  These are the five school winners picked from my class heading to the district competition. I can take NO credit for any of this.. my students are LUCKY DUCKS to get to go to art 3 times a week.

………………………

2. Last week I showed you the beginning of a directed drawing activity. Here are some of the finished snowmen. They turned out pretty cute!

………………………

3. We had a great guy come to our school this past Wednesday .. he is a herpetologist {yes, I had to look that spelling up} and brought  a collection of snakes for our kids to see. He was AWESOME and did a great job talking on a level they could understand. One of my little boys said, “This was the best day of my life.”

 

………………………

4. Some of the members of Blog Hoppin are having a fun 100th day giveaway. Jump over and enter! You can win my 100th day of school unit and lots of others.

…………………….

 

5. I noticed when I left school today- that I was the only one carrying a huge load out the door. Do you bring home a lot to work on over the weekend? I was at school an hour early today and I worked like crazy during my free time to try and plan and get organized for next week.. but still I have a TON to do before Monday. I never feel like I am “ahead”.

ABC order unit

Hello!

I wanted to take a few minutes to share my newest unit with you.. it is all about ABC order. I have a Christmas ABC order unit and it was a life saver for me back in December.. so I hope this one can be useful to others since it is “generic” and can be used year round.

 

Here is a look of what is included…

Three sets of cards {with 15-18 letters each}: Students put the cards in ABC order then record their answers on the recording sheets.

---

Put the color words in ABC order.

---

This is a great center activity. Students look at each card and write what letter would come first in ABC order.

Also great to use with clothes pins.

---

 

Another center activity.. students look at each card and record the 4 letters in order.

Also great to use with clothes pins too.

---

And also lots of extra practice/review sheets included!
