100th Day of School Activities
 
|
What is the 100th Day of School? The 100th day of school is literally the 100th day of the school
year. From the very first day of school, many classes keep track of the
number of days they've been in school in
anticipation of the 100th day. Days are often kept track of by counting
straws or craftsticks, ten of which become a "ten bundle," providing ongoing opportunities for counting by tens and ones and developing place value concepts. |

When is the 100th Day of School? The 100th day of school varies from school to school, depending on
when school started and whether or not there are days off for teacher
workshops or inclement weather. Many schools end up celebrating the
100th day of school sometime in February. |

Several of the above activities require that you prepare zip-lock bags containing 100 small items ahead of time. Send home this letter a week or two before your 100th day activities and have students prepare these bags for everyone to use.
