Celebrating the 100th day of school is now a thing. But this is actually a thing I can get behind because it acknowledges that these kids have made the full transition from preschool to school - they've made friends - they know the schedule - and they are comfortable in school. All good things.
Jack's class is recognizing the day by presenting their 100th day projects. The premise of the project is to create something around the number 100 to present to the class. Jack and I discussed a few ideas - 100 beads, 100 baseball cards - but ultimately, we settled on a 100 days infographic (my word, not his - though he's probably use it if he knew it!).
Jack's infographic documented some of the great things that he and his class have done in the first 100 days. It was fun to think through all that they have done and then find a way to put it together.
Here's our final list
100 AMAZING DAYS OF SCHOOL
24 new friends
2 great teachers
8 Star books from the book fairy
4 fish (sadly on the one name "Jeter" has survived - yes "Jeter" was the name Jack recommended)
2 snails (according to Jack these evil things are killing the fish)
9 choice time activities
25 reading buddies (a 3rd, or maybe 4th, grade class comes every Friday to read with Jack's class)
1 trip to the Big Apple Circus
1 trip to Petland (for the above fish and snails)
1 trip to the Swedish Cottage in Central Park
21 weekend updates (created on Mondays, they are single page stories of something from the previous weekend - 95% of Jack's are about sports)
2 publishing parties (reviewing the 3 part stories the kids are writing in class)
And the final product:
Amazingly, we were done two days before it was due. For those of you that know me, you know that having this complete early is a small miracle. When I was in high school, my mom taped a saying to the computer monitor that read "if it weren't for the last minute, nothing would get done". Yep.
