More 100th Day of Kindergarten

Partner Dice Game

Partners take turns rolling a die and coloring that many squares on a 100 chart.  When the 100 chart is filled in, the partner who colored the most squares wins the game.



100 Starburst Search

We look for 100 Starburst candies in our room, read the number on the Starburst, and match it to the number on the 100 chart.

100th Day Buddies

Our 5th grade buddies helped us count our 100 collections by 1s, 2s, 5s, and 10s.  They also voted on our collections!  We received awards such as The Greatest Collections of All, The Stickiest Collection, The Most Unique Collection, and The Most Colorful Collection.

100th Day Cupcakes

We had a wonderful parent make us a cupcake treat for the 100th day of school!

100 Hungry Ants

After reading the story 100 Hungry Ants by Elinor Pinczes, we used 100 charts (colored like picnic blankets) to find missing numbers.  We played the game, Mend the Number Square. (I hope to find some plastic ants to use with this game next year!)

100 Chart Puzzles

Just print some 100 charts on colored cardstock, laminate, and cut into puzzle pieces.  We used complete 100 charts to help us put our puzzles together at first, then we put our puzzles together without help!

Our 100 Collections Predictable Chart

Our predictable chart was about our 100th day collections.  We dictated sentences on Monday.  Read and tracked the print on Tuesday.  Wrote the sentences on 100th day stationary on Wednesday.  Typed our words, printed them out, cut them apart, sequenced them, and glued them to our paper on Thursday.  On Friday, we illustrated.  We laminate these pages and put them together to form a classroom book.

100th Day Trail Mix

Our 100th day trail mix had 10 marshmallows, 10 pieces of Life cereal, 10 raisins, 10 skittles, 10 M&Ms, 10 white chocolate chips, 10 peanut butter chips, 10 cheerios, 10 pretzel sticks, and

10 Goldfish crackers.

Yum!

100th Day of Kindergarten

100 Balloons

We played with 100 balloons by batting them in the air, kicking them with our feet, and rubbing them on our hair to make static electricity.  Afterward we popped them!

A Puzzling Picture

Find numbers on a 100 chart and color in to reveal a surprise!

This idea came from The Mailbox Magazine February Reproducibles.

Another 100 Chart Activity

We used a large deck of cards and found the numbers on the 100 chart and colored.

The 4 and the 9 cards made the numbers 49 and 94 - we colored them blue.

100 Stamps

Use a blank 100 chart to create 100 stamps.

We used marker stamps by crayola.

100 Dot Designs

We use 100 colored dot labels on black construction paper to make cool 100 dot designs.

This is always a favorite!

100 Day Collections

Each student brings in a 100 day collection.  In the picture you can see four 100 day collections: 100 erasers, 100 baseball cards, 100 marbles, and 100 pennies.

Who has the heaviest/lightest?

We weigh our 100 day collections to see who has the heaviest collection and who has the lightest collection.  We also find out who has the longest collection and the shortest collection.

100th Day Fill in the Blank

Students complete sentences in this 100th day fill in the keepsake sheet.  You can upload photos into currency at this website: www.festisite.com/money.

 

100th Day Masks

Students create 100th day masks.  Find the pattern here.

100th Day Puzzle

On the 100th day of school our puzzle was complete!  A lucky student got to take it home!

Zero the Hero

Zero the Hero visits us every 10th day of school.  On the 100th day of school, Zero visited us wearing his 100 mask and we completed our Zero the Hero (count by 10s) book. Click here for the book.

100 Pennies

We saved a penny everyday of school.  On the 100th day of school we removed all our pennies from our Kermit the Frog bank and counted them by 1s using a 100 chart.

We counted the pennies by 2s using a 100 chart.

by 5s

and by 10s.

Then we put our 100 pennies into the 100th day of school magic box and

turned the 100 pennies into a $1!

Teen Numbers

Tens Frames

We read the book Fish Eyes by Lois Ehlert and used one pretzel goldfish and 9 goldfish crackers to learn about the tens frame and how it can help us recognize teen numbers.

Buses and Bears

We use a school bus tens frame and teddy bear manipulatives to learn about the teen numbers.

We find out that teen numbers are ten and some more.  We learn that when the bus is filled up that is one ten and if their are bears at the bus stop they are ones.

Tens Frames on the SmartBoard

We use an activity on the smartboard and tens frames with 2 sided counters at our seat to learn more about tens frames and teen numbers.  We use red to show the tens and yellow to show the ones.

The Tricky Teen Chant

We use this poem to help us learn about teen numbers.  I got the idea for this poem from Mrs. Jones' website.  We add this poem to our Poetry Notebook so we can practice the chant at home.

Roll to 20 Dice Game

Partners use a gameboard with two tens frames, one dice, and counters to play this game.  Each student takes turns rolling the dice.  She adds counters to her gameboard to represent the number rolled on the dice.  Play continues until a player fills in both of the tens frames.  This first player to fill in both of her tens frames wins.

Teen Number Humpty Dumpty Game

This is a "crash" card game.  Below is an example of 3 of the game cards.  I created game cards for numbers 11-20 using tens frames and numerals.  I also created some cards with Humpty Dumpty.  This card game can be played with small or large groups.  One player at a time draws a card.  If it is a tens frame, the student counts the bricks on Humpty Dumpty's wall to name the number.  If it is a numeral card, the student names the number.  If a student draws a Humpty Dumpty card, all students chant the Humpty Dumpty rhyme.  If this student has collected any game cards, the cards are returned to the deck. (Hold onto the Humpty Dumpty card.)  Play resumes until all the cards have been played.

Teen Number Powerpoints

I created some powerpoint games to help us learn all we can about teen numbers and tens frames.

Jack be nimble,

Animals in Winter

Sorting Picture Cards

Sort animal picture cards by hibernate, migrate, and stay at home.

Picture cards on left are from http://www.shop.montessoriprintshop.com/searchquick-submit.sc?keywords=hibernate.  The pictures in the middle are from Mailbox Magazine October/November 2001 page 44.  The sorting mats on the bottom were borrowed from another teacher.



Predictable Chart Sentences

The students dictate a sentence for our predictable chart.  From this chart we create a classroom book, "Animals Getting Ready for Winter."



Examples of sentences: A bear hibernates.  A goose migrates.  A squirrel stays at home.

Animals Getting Ready for Winter poem

This poem is from Mailbox Magazine October/November 2001 page 42.  Our class always adds 2-3 poems a week to our Poetry Notebook. 

Who Needs a Coat? booklet

This booklet is also from Mailbox Magazine October/November 2001 pages 45-46.

 What is Under the Ice?

I take a plastic frog, fish, and snake and place in the bottom of a bowl.  Cover the animals with water and freeze over night.  When the students arrive at school they get to estimate when they think the ice will be melted enough to 'see what's under the ice.'  We brainstorm ways to make the salt melt faster so we always help the ice melt by pouring salt on it and placing it near the heat.  We then do a writing, art activity.

 

Who Am I?

Create headbands from animal cards for the students to wear during this guessing game.  The student who wears the headbands asks, "Do I hibernate?"  The others answer, "No."  The student asks, "Do I migrate?" The others say, "No."  The student asks, "Do I stay active?"  The other students say, "Yes!"  The student asks, "Am I a squirrel?"  The other students say, "No."  The student asks, "Am I a fox?" The others say, "Yes!"  Play continues with another student wearing the animal headband.
