100 Day's of Fun


That's how you say 100 in Mandarin!  We sure had fun celebrating our 100th day of school this week. 

Celia's mom (Ms. Melissa) came to Mrs. Snyder's class and created wonderful 100th Day crowns with all our excited Explorers.  They added 100 images (10 on each strip) to their crowns.  It was a lesson full of creativity, fun and endurance!

 Here are some of the 100 Day Collections the students brought in to share:

















We loved everyone's project and creativity!  


Here are a couple other 100 day activities:
What can you do with 100 cups?  This took some great balancing and skill.  Here Rafe and Aliza worked to build a tower while others created a super base all around.  The height of the tower was so exciting! 

Mrs. Snyder's class created a pizza and only wanted 100 toppings.  The goal was to share the work equally so it was a real dilemma to figure out just how many toppings we would each add.  Being the amazing THINKERS they are, the class determined they would each need to add 5 toppings and that would give us exactly 100.  *I wish I had recorded the conversation to get to this point.  It was tremendous!


Friday was DUMPLING DAY!  Oh we waited all week for this big day.  Our wonderful Mandarin teachers, with the help of amazing parent volunteers, taught each class how to make dumplings. The big surprise was just how much work goes into each one.  A true appreciation was fostered! 







Mrs. Humphrey's birthday girl, Sonia, enjoyed a Mystery Reader surprise this week!
