300 FREE 100th Day of School celebration ideas!
What is the 100th Day of School?
It’s a fun
way to teach basic math concepts to children including counting,
sorting, measuring, sequencing, graphing, classifying, etc. It’s
celebrated at many different grade levels, but most commonly in grades
K-2. Anticipation builds from the very first day as classrooms count
each day they attend school, one by one, until they reach the 100th day.
Then it's time to celebrate!
