The 100th day of school currently will fall on January 27, 2012. In recognition of this milestone, the children have a math project. This project is due any day the week of 19th. Children should bring their finished projects to school any day the week of January 23rd. Each child will present his/her project. It helps if you review what the project is, where the pieces were obtained, and who participated in the production of the project. The projects will be displayed in the hallway outside our room.
Each child should brainstorm with parents and family something they can use to make a collection of 100. The selection should be something simple and inexpensive and easily displayed. The display can be on a poster board or display board or on strings or in a box. Typical collections have included pennies, paper clips, or candy. A child last year made a collection of 100 origami paper cranes. Another year, a child glued 100 sea shells into the shape of a turtle shell (turtle on a half shell). One self-motivated little girl who received no assistance from her family drew 100 stars on a piece of writing paper. Use your imagination. Have some good family fun.
We look forward to being amazed at your creativity.
