1-2-3 Come Do Some More 100 Day Activities With Me

Some teachers have told me that they like to carry their all-year-long themes through to 100 Day. i.e. apples, owls, monsters etc.  With that in mind, I designed some 100-Day themed packets that I hope you'll enjoy.

owls, bookmarks, 100 day activities, 100 day centers, 100 day crafts, 100 day writing prompts, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day number cards, 100 day games,Do you need some number cards that go all the way to 100?

Use them as incentives and challenge students to collect all 4.

owls, bookmarks, 100 day activities, 100 day centers, 100 day crafts, 100 day writing prompts, 100 day bulletin boards, 100 day number cards, 100 day games,A Googol is the number 1 with 100 zeros after it. When I thought about the sound of this silly word, it reminded me of aliens or monsters, so I designed a 51-page 100-Day monster-themed packet.

I created 11 googol monsters using the adorable clip art of Laura Strickland and added some wiggle eyes.  The entire googol number is on their tummies. Choose one or make them all to help introduce this humongus number, then give them away as prizes.

One of our favorites was Pumpkin Round and Fat.  I have a huge collection of puppets that made reading and lessons extra special, so I often helped my kiddo's make a puppet-manipulative of their own. 

When I Googled this poem, to get some ideas, I found a sweet Popsicle puppet idea over at Teacher Mama.  This is my version: Click on the link to view/download the Jack-O-Lantern Popsicle stick puppet. 

I've had several requests for some coin activities involving pumpkins, so I dreamed up an easy-reader entitled, Pumpkin Payment.  Besides reinforcing the penny, nickel, dime and quarter, it also reviews all of the basic 2D shapes kiddo's are required to know, including that crazy hexagon.

When everyone has completed their booklet, read it as a whole group to reinforce concepts of print.  Click on the link to view/download the easy-reader booklet, Pumpkin Payment.
