Rain, Rain and More Rain

100 Days of School

We were a little late with this since it's been well past 100 days for us, but here goes anyway! I wanted to try doing this with my children (mainly my 4 year old). Each day she put a sticker on the chart to count to 100. All of my children looked forward to this every school day. Today we had our little celebration. We ate a 100 Grand candy bar. I'd never tried one before, but I might buy them again. It was delicious! We put together a 100 piece puzzle of a hundred dollar bill. We, also, counted 100 beans and shaped it into the number 100, made a paper chain of 100 strips of construction paper, exercised 100 times and several other things. It was fun and I think they enjoyed it. That makes all the difference. If they learned and it was fun then it was worth it!
