100Th Day of School

My daughter did feathers (I tried to talk her out of it, but she is in a birdy stage). My son did playing cards.

My son did toothpicks, and my daughters did popsicle sticks and origami butterflies. But I have also seen pennies, band-aids (stuck on an outline of a person like a large game of operation), and cotton balls.

My son did that already. He's in 1st grade.
WITH my son, we went throughout the house, and gathered things in 10's.
That was the instructions, per my son's project from the Teacher. And it was then to be glued onto a poster board paper, which the Teacher supplied each child with. And then, my son.... did the project and glued things onto his poster board, with hot-glue. Which he knows how to use, with my supervision. For my son's Teacher, she wanted the kids, to do the project by themselves as much as possible. The parent helping if needed.

So we had things like:
Band-aids (un-used of course), rubber bands, paper clips, nails, stickers, twist ties, post-it notes, cotton balls, pebbles, leaves, toothpicks, bottle caps, pens, pencils, pennies etc.

pennies
paperclips - sold in boxes of 100!

my son did puzzle pieces

fuzzy balls (art things)? popcicle sticks? i would say dried beans (but no food)....

my daughter had a note sent home asking her to bring 100 plain m&ms so thats what shes bringing :) i cant wait to see what she makes for the 100 day project :)

Last year my son brought a 100-piece puzzle (in the box). This year, sadly, we forgot over the weekend. At a friend's Super Bowl party I turned to my husband and said, "We forgot!" So, on the way home we bought a bag of Skittles (because candy was ok, as far as we knew). After putting the boys to bed, I counted out 50 purple Skittles and 50 yellow Skittles, because the school colors are purple and gold. This morning I told my son what I did. He said, "Ok, Mom, thanks!"

I know he could have done it himself, but I wanted him to get enough sleep. I hope I get better as he gets older, because the last thing I want to be is the mom who does his homework for him!

My son a few years ago had to do the same thing. He made a picture out of cotton balls on poster board and took it to school. It was really cute. You could always just take a bag of cotton balls as well.

My son is in kindergarten and we just did this project a few weeks ago. We made a pizza out of construction paper and put it in a pizza box from Pizza hut. The pizza had 100 pieces of construction paper "pepperoni" cut out and glued on it. It turned out very cute. :)

My daughter is bringing beads

My daughter did poker chips. (Her dad has a poker chip set)

We did 100 different colored beads on a necklace. My son chose sports-themed beads, so he made a green/gold/football necklace that stole my Cheesehead hubby's heart ;-)

My son and I went outside and collected 100 tiny rocks.

We counted out 100 miscellaneous items from our "junk drawer." It was whatever could fit into a 1 gallon zip-loc bag.

pennies, legos, stickers, paper clips, marbles, puzzle pieces (100 piece puzzle would be fun!), socks, craft items (pom poms, foam pieces, etc.), cotton balls, dry beans...the possibilities are endless!! :-)

We've done pennies, paperclips and Lego's.

legos
stickers
pencils
little erasers
straws

If only ours was that easy..... We have 'make a project..' using that 100 of something....?!?! We're going to use 100 toothpicks, bunched together and write '100!'. Glue them on cardboard or something...

Nuts, bolts, paper clips, legos, cotton balls, pasta shells, pennies, pencils, plastic cutlery, paper plates, dixie cups, paper napkins, beads, balloons, marbles. Go to a dollar store or a party goods store and find things that come in packages (little cocktail umbrellas or swords, junky party favors, paper coasters, gift tags, bows)

Have fun mama! I miss those days!!!
