A little homework over Spring Break! We will be celebrating 100s day on Wednesday, March 25th. That is the first week back after Spring Break. Please have your child complete a "100 challenge" and send them to school with their master-piece on March 25th. This is completely open to creativity and interest! For simplicity sake, it is easiest to place items on a sheet of paper, and sometimes this works nicely, but it doesn't for all projects and is certainly not a rule.
Some interesting projects of years past:
Lego made of 100 pieces
100 stickers
100 dried pasta noodles
100 paper clips clipped together like a chain
Jar of 100 jelly beans
100 thumb prints
100 fingers (20 handprints)
We have and will continue to talk about using 10 groups of 10 to get to 100. This makes the project approachable for EVERYONE because they can all count to 10. Please remind them of this strategy as they brainstorm ideas and work on their project. Counting by 10s to get to 100 once it is finished, would be GREAT!
Estimation is also a math skill that they can practice - picking out household objects that they estimate may have enough for 100 for example.
HAVE FUN!
