The One Hundredth Day of School

100 Days and Counting!     

                             

This is one of my favorite books about 100! I use it to practice division of 100. Each student receives a Baggie with a tablecloth and 100 ants. (They're really dry black beans.) Each student uses a hundreds grid to count out their 100 ants. Then I read the story of the ants, and their leader Joe, who are heading for a picnic. The students start with one line of 100 ants until Joe thinks they are moving too slow and calls for the ants to make two lines of 50. Each time the story changes, the students divide their ants differently. Best of all, the story has a repeating, predictable pattern, a fun rhyme, and a surprise ending! To hear the story read aloud, click here.

                            

Also, we read 2 more books about 100, read poems, took on a STEM challenge using 100 items and smiled for the camera in the 2B photo booth to celebrate the 100th day of school.   

Another great book about 100!
