100th Day of School

Today we began our day by completing a search of 100 shapes. We used the number of shapes we found to answer many math questions and to create a bar graph. After this morning work it was time for morning meeting. We greeted each other and sang a song about the 100th day of school. After morning meeting it was time for our Special of the day, Music. After Music, Mrs. Miller read the end of The Meanest Doll in the World to us. (Ask me about it!). Next we talked some more about the 100th Day of School. We read a book called 100th Day Worries. We discussed why the main character, Jessica, was worried and how she solved her problem. We also made a list of all of the ways we could group 100 items in even groups. After that we completed a short book in which we had to write to many prompts that had to do with the number 100. Finally it was time for lunch! After lunch Mrs. Miller taught us all about how to use a compass. We each held a small compass in our hands and found the North side of our classroom. After we labeled the North wall, we labeled the other walls with the cardinal and intermediate directions. We played a game of "Simon Says" and moved in the direction that "Simon" told us to. Then it was time to go to Sinking Springs for some 100th Day activities with our 5th grade buddies. The activities all had to do with the number 100 and involved measuring, writing and math and Mr. Otterson's Wii. (Ask me what my favorite activity was!) By the time we came back to Roundtown it was just about time to pack up and go home. What a great day! Tomorrow is Day 5. We have Library. Homework is a doubles math fact search.
