Five for Friday {100th Day Style}

I am linking up with Doodle Bugs Teaching for Five for Friday.

I am going to share my 5 favorite moments from our 100th Day celebration today.

We dressed up like we were 100 years old!  These are just a couple of my favorite outfits.

We, of course, made hats and fruit loop necklaces.  My room continued to smell like fruit loops all day long!

{Another one of my favorite outfits of the day!}

We did a center rotation with the other kindergarten class.  We spread them out to 6 different activities.  Here are a few.

Our friend Zero the Hero brought us a yummy treat.  I just melt white chocolate and then add a pretzel stick and two m&m's so it looks like a 100.  Simple and easy.

At the end of the day we made this fun craft.  I am not sure where it is from.  If you do, let me know in the comments below so I can give that person a shout out!

Needless to say, now this teacher is EXHAUSTED!  Therefore, I am heading to lay down with a good book and a warm blanket.

How do you celebrate 100th day in your classroom?  I would love to hear!

100th Day Fun!

Today was our 100th day of school......can I just say oh.  my.  word!  It was a great day, but I didn't get to do half the stuff I had planned because everything took twice as long as I anticipated.  Plus, I had 6 kids gone today.  The kiddos were very well-behaved though and had a blast!

 We asked the kids to come to school dressed like they were 100 years old.  I was a little nervous that no one would participate, but look at how cute they are! :)  It just makes my heart melt!  {Do you see the canes?  Walking stick?  Ties?  Suspenders?}

We have been using Kreative in Kinder's Zero the Hero activities since day 10!  The students are always excited to see what treat Zero the Hero will bring to us.  This is what they saw when they came into the room today:

He left us this bag with some super cool treats.  The picture below shows the treat I made.  I made this last year and posted it to my old blog that no longer exists.  I was shocked to find the idea from old blog still floating around on pinterest....ha! :)  It is really easy to make.  Melt white chocolate and pour some onto a wax paper lined baking sheet then add a pretzel stick and two M&M's.

The kiddos were in awe that Zero the Hero made such a cool treat! :)  My daughter even helped me make the treats last night.

We also made necklaces with 100 fruit loops.  I gave each student a 100 chart and then put fruit loops in the middle of the table.  They filled their chart and then started to string them on a piece of yarn.

They had so much fun with this.  I told them they were not allowed to eat any fruit loops while we were making the necklaces and not one person ate one.  I was so impressed especially since we STARTED making these right before lunch! ;)

We also made hats with 100 stickers (10 stickers on 10 strips of construction paper).  Here are some of my little sweeties with their hats and necklaces.

We also did 100 exercises, counting to 100 in different ways, and did some 100 day coloring.  Whenever they finished their work throughout the day, they worked on writing their name 100 times.  I got this idea from Khrys.  You can get yourself a copy {here}.

My children go to school in the same district as me, but are in a different school.  They celebrated 100th day today as well.  Here is a picture of my little princess after school with her 100th day crown.

Thanks for making it to the end of this long post.  I am going to go curl up in bed right now.  Yes I know it isn't even 7:00, but I am starting to get a cold and we start our standardized testing tomorrow so I need my rest!
