100th Day Writing & A Freebie

I'm a little behind the times since we had our 100th day a 
couple of weeks ago, but it's been a crazy couple of weeks!  
Progress reports are due, I was out two days for a conference, 
plus parent/teacher conferences start Tuesday...WHEW!

We did an oldie but goodie that is not my original idea.  It was 
shared with me by another teacher years ago when I taught Kinder.  
If you originated this adorable idea please let me know so that 
I can give you credit!  It's so fun to see how my kids
imagine themselves when they are 100!

We started out by talking about "retirement".  Most of my kids 
had no idea what that word meant and a few thought it meant 
to "re-tire" a car as in change the tire again.  I do love how they 
that it was the perfect opportunity for a little prefix review!

We also made a class book titled Things I've Been Told 100 Times!

I love this next one: "I've been told 100 times to put the
toilet seat down."I heard that one 100 times growing
 up with 5 brothers!

Here's a little freebie if you'd like to make this book 
with your class. I know most have already celebrated their 
100th day, but you can always save it for next year!

Our conferences fall on Valentine's Day this year. 
I was planning to do this next week, but we squeezed in 
a little Valentine's Day writing so my kiddos could give 
them to their parents.

  1. I love the kid's writing that says he's been told 100 times not to put his finger in a zoo animal's mouth lol! He sounds like he might be a bit of a handful!

    1. Yes! I'd be a little nervous on a field trip to the zoo!
