100th Day

I have had my eyes set on Valentines Day and I almost forgot about another special occasion... the 100th day of school!
Friday, February 3, we will celebrate the 100th day of school with a variety of classroom activities.  I need your and your child's participation at home for a few of them. 

I will send a note home this Friday concerning a special project your child will need to complete.  They will need to make something using EXACTLY 100 of something.  I will give some examples in my letter, but I really want your child to get creative.  Since I'm sending the note home on Friday, they will have exactly a week to think of a project and put it together.  Because of this, I will not send the usual math homework.  The purpose of the activity is to see how different 100 can look.  I would like all projects to be turned in on Friday, February 3.  I'm asking the projects NOT be turned in sooner than that as we have no place to store them.  The kids will have opportuinites throughout the day to share their project.

Another request is that we will indulge in a 100th day snack.  Each child is asked to bring in about 100 small snack items to share with the class.  Again, I will detail this in the letter on Friday.  Some things brought in the past include M&Ms, peanuts, raisins, cheerios, skittles, etc...
We will fill a 100s chart with these small items and each child will take home a snack of 100 things.  That is if they don't eat any of it :)

I wanted to give you the heads up in case you were out shopping and wanted to prepare for these two things.  I appreciate you helping your child with these two assignments.
