100th Day of School

More than just a milestone worth noting - the 100th day is the perfect time to have fun with the number 100 while exploring counting, sorting, patterning, measuring, and various other math skills and concepts.  

           

The boys and the girls take 100 steps together around the yard.

we may look like 100 years from now!

the phrase "100 Days of School" in Hebrew!
