The 100th day of school is one of our favorite events of the school year
to celebrate in kindergarten.  We started our 100th day celebration with a
hershey kiss find.  Each child found a kiss that had a number on the
bottom of it and had to match it up to the correct number on the 100¹s
chart.  You can view our video here:

Not only did we make necklaces with 100 fruit loops but we also put
together puzzles of ourselves looking like we were 100 years old, built
towers out of 100 cups and wrote about what we would buy if we had $100.
These stories were hilarious:  one child wanted $100 worth of bananas, we
had a few motorcycles, a puppy, a cat, toys, necklaces, and a special time
with mom or dad.  They were well thought out and it was exciting to read
their step 1, step 2, and step 3 of how they would spend the money.
First grade visited us with their writing.  Their stories were lengthy and
really had so many details in each book.  I was amazed at their writing
and so were my students!  Finally, we ended our day wrapping up our ³Snowy
Day² unit by making snow out of hair conditioner and baking soda.
Here is the recipe if you would like it:
2 boxes of baking soda
3/4 cup of hair conditioner (any white kind)
