First home project! 100 Days of School!!
Our class has been counting the days of school looking forward to the 100th day all year.  Counting to 100, recognizing numbers to 100, counting to 100 by 2's, 5's, and 10's are all things we have worked on. As of today, our 100th day of school will be on Thursday, February 27th!  To make this day both educational and fun, your help is needed.

Each child will be bringing a collection of 100 things displayed on poster board/cardboard. The student will be sharing their collection with the class as the class helps count the items.  After the children share their collection, the collection will be displayed in the hall or classroom for all to appreciate. 
Suggested items:
dry pasta noodles          buttons          feathers          marshmallows          stickers          dry beans        cotton balls          Cherrios          foam shapes           - any inexpensive items 

Please consider this a family event and have a great time finding a fun, creative way to display your objects.  Lots of learning can happen while you are working.  Challenge your older children with questions regarding 100 and challenge your younger children to count a few objects.  Please remember that your child needs to be a very active participant.  Let them show off and count to 100, count 100 objects, etc.

Sharing the Projects:
On Thursday and Friday, February 27 and 28, we will have each student share his/her family project.  They will share the following:
  • ·      How did you arrange you objects/project?  (by ones, fives, tens, twenties, twenty fives)
  • ·      Tell us about the project.
  • ·      Who helped you make the project? (mom, dad, little brother, big sister, and me)
Feel free to turn in the projects earlier than the 27th!
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me at any time
Below you will find some examples (more can be found online)

Thanks,
Ms. Toor
