Patiently waiting
and hoping for snow in 2015.

300 FREE 100th Day of School celebration ideas!

http://www.joanholub.com/100thDay.html
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!
