100TH Day of School Celebration

Cheerios, lifesavers, safety pins, buttons, pennies, Double Bubble, raisins, lollipops, silly bands, erasers.......

Pennies is the easiest because the bank will give you rolled coins that are precounted.
I did 100 individually wrapped Lifesavers one year.
You can get stickers in rolls of 100 from the party store or a teacher supply store.

Sometimes the materials are used for math work. Last year my son brought 100 of those glass stones you use in vases. They were great for counting.

Someone help me to understand 100 day celebration. When did this start and what is the purpose.

We did Lego bricks. I secretly hoped they would not be returned to plague my bare feet on the wood floors, but we got them back.

100 pebbles, pennies, buttons, goldfish crackers, matchbox cars, legos, write his name 100 times, 100 playing cards (2 decks).

We didn't grow up with this, our kid is too young for this, but I'm just remembering what I heard others doing.

Mind you, you might want to find out if there is more to this project. My girlfriend whose daughter picked buttons went scrambling for grout when her daughter decided to turn the buttons into a mosaic coaster.

Best,

We glued 100 pennies on a poster board in the shape of a dollar bill.

My granddaughter took 100 Fruit Loops.

Zero Hero is getting married... My son is in kindergarten. They did not suggest us to bring anything, unless I missed it with all the detials that we get.

You could get Number stickers.

Good luck and hope these kids get out for summer before fall begins agian. :)

We did 100 toothpicks (glued to a poster board in a maze), 100 cotton balls, and 100 origami butterflies.

I've also seen pennies, Popsicle sticks, candy (gum balls, lolly-pops, marshmallows etc), rubber bands, and q-tips.

My son has his on Friday at his Catholic school.
We made a tshirt last night where he wrote up to the # 100 all over it in different colors of marker.
We have also glued 100 buttons on a shirt (they do t shirts, but you could do a jar, or on paper), colored puff balls, etc...

It has been awhile since my kids were in Kindy, but I remember sending in a pack of 100 bendy straws.

For my first 3 kids, the teacher asked for certain types of food such as pretzels, m & m, goldfish, etc. They put it all together and made a snack to share. This last time they were told to bring in 100 of any snack. They ate what they brought in.

I hated 100 day celebration. What a pain in the butt...

Paperclips strung together is a good exercise for small finger dexterity development. Don't do it for your child - let him or her do it.

My daughter is I K and they asked for donations of some items that will be used to make necklaces. On the list were Cheerios, Fruit Loops, Gold Fish crackers, chocolate chips, m&ms and some other items that I cannot remember. When my older kids were little, one took in 100 paper clips.

When our son was in 1st grade they had to make a project for it.
We made tile trivet.
We used a little wooden plaque and used 100 blue and white tiles which formed '100'.
He helped me pick out the materials at Michael's, then we placed the tiles and he did the grouting, washing and polishing.
It's beautiful, durable and usable!
His teacher never saw anything like it before and it was great because it was easy to carry and didn't fall apart in transport.
We still have it!

100 days of school - is a way to show how many different ways there are to count up to 100 - which is a pretty big achievement up through 1st or 2nd grade.
It's fun!
Plus since you're at the 100 day point (and school usually has about 180 days in total) - you know you're past the half way point to summer vacation!

We did 100 marshmallows. DD put them in 10 baggies, 10 at a time, and labeled them by 10s til she got to 100. They went into a gallon bag and will be going to school on Friday (if it's not a snow day!). Other ideas from the teachers were pennies, cheerios, toothpicks...

Last year we did snacks - marshmallows, skittles, pretzels, m&ms, etc.

Also, from Oriental Trading each kid received a foam 100 days kit to decorate. Super cute.

100 stickers
100 paperclips all in a chain
100 raisins
100 crayons

Last year my first graders teacher said she preferred for the items to not be food. So, we did puzzle peices. We already had puzzles on hand-but I have seen 100 pc puzzles at the dollar tree.
This year my Kidnergartener is bringing home a plastic cape we have to glue 100 things on-I'm going to do the puzzle pieces again.
Our 100 days has been pushed back due to snow days-so it's later this month.

Straws
Legos
Jolly ranchers
Playing cards
Cheerios
Fruit loops
Buttons

Both of my kids did things that could be broken down into groups of 10. One did 100 stickers - 10 cars, 10 dinosaurs, 10 dogs and so on. This year my son did 100 elastic bands in 10 groups of different colors (they were the ones the kids are using to make bracelets).

years ago my daughter collected a million sea shells over the summer so she counted out 100 and brought that. My kinder daughter this year had to dress like she was 100 instead of bringing in 100 things. It was tough but I kind of liked it better.

I remember sending my kids with M&M's, pennies and paperclips.

One of my sons counted out 100 mini-marshmallows, another used pennies. They carried them to school in a zip lock bag. The class had an assortment of items - Lego blocks,Jolly Rancher candies, hair barrettes, plastic pop beads - you name it! The highlight was the child who carried in (with help from Mom) 100 mini muffins, for the party afterward! Be prepared, in most classes the teacher will have the student stand and tell about the item they chose, how they counted it (by ones, put in stacks of 10, etc.), did anyone help them and so on.

what the............
?
i've never heard of this before!
i think the suggestions are great, but the entire concept is weird beyond belief.

My daughter got 100 pieces of lego - and made the number 100 out of them. Lego = her idea, making the #100= dads idea!

My son has done the 100 days ever since he was in Pre-K 4. Although they didn't do it this year (not sure why)

I've never been asked to bring in 100 of something. His thing is always wear 100 of something.
Normally we do shirts - 100 googly eyes glued on a shirt. When he was in 1st we made a pair of pants look like a treasure map so we glued on 100 different "pirate themed" things like cross bone and ships leading to a treasure.

I think it's a cute idea - anything to get them excited about counting/learning is good in my book!

Have fun:)

Any item that is 100 count such as coins, stickers, flowers and so on.
