100th Day of School




Friday (January 20th) will be the 100th day of school. We will be celebrating the number 100 all day through various activities. We will be doing 100 things, saying 100 things, writing 100 things, reading about 100 things, counting 100 things, eating 100 things, etc.


Please help us celebrate the 100th day of school by encouraging your child to create a 100th Day Collection. Some ideas for 100th Day Collections are: cereal (cheerios/fruit loops), pennies, beads, candy, mini-marshmallows, rubber bands, paper clips, erasers, beans, stickers, marbles, cotton balls, etc. Please make sure that one of each item can fit into a one inch square on a Hundred Chart. These 100 items need to be put into a gallon sized Ziploc bag and labeled with your child’s name. We will be displaying our 100 items on a bulletin board in the hallway after we have counted and shared the collections with the class.

Additionally, we need snacks donated for our 100th Day Snack. There will be 10 different types of snacks—the students will count out 10 pieces from the 10 different snacks to total 100 snack pieces. If you can donate any of the snacks listed below please send them in with your child by Thursday. The following snacks will be used (both name brand and generic): mini-marshmallows, M&M’s, raisins, Chex, Cocoa Puffs, Golden Grahams, bagged popcorn, white chocolate chips, chocolate chips, pretzels.


As always if you have any questions please call me at the school or e-mail me @ Melissa.Bazzell@Graves.kyschools.us Thank you for your cooperation!

Mrs. Melissa
