    Hundred Day
    By Robin

    My third graders start the day with a hundred day breakfast. They each bring in a hundred pieces of cereal, and I provide the "go withs". We write stories about what we think we'll be like at age 100 (the illustrations alone are a hoot!), and some years I give them a large, paper one hundred dollar bill and have them write what they'd do with a hundred dollars. They still enjoy putting together 100 piece puzzles (sometimes, they're not as easy as they look!), and last year, each group had 100 pennies and tried to build a tower using all 100 (very hard!). I think Mailbox magazine's January/February issue from this year featured 100 days of school, as they did in a past issue from several years ago. I also have given them a hundred board and called out facts so they would shade in the shapes of the digits 1, 0, 0. I think if you "google" 100 days of school, you can search out other websites with more ideas. There are also great picture books you can read aloud for the 100th day. Enjoy!
