Westonka Kindergartners Celebrate 100th Day of School
Kindergartners, dressed like grandparents, celebrated 100 days of school.
It wasn’t Grandparents Day, but it looked like it as students at both Shirley Hills and Hilltop primary schools celebrated a big milestone in February – the 100th day of school. Both schools were full of kindergartners wearing gray wigs and spectacles on chains and using walking canes as they dressed up like 100-year-olds.
Shirley Hills kindergartners completed many counting to 100 tasks throughout the day and did things 100 times. Students wrote up to 100, rolled dice to 100 with a partner, licked a lollipop 100 times, made a 100-bead necklace, dotted 100 times, stacked 100 cups, created a 100th day crown, and received a 100th day of kindergarten certificate. They had a fun day thinking of all the things they'd learned now that they were 100 days smarter.
At Hilltop, students were encouraged to dress like 100-year-old grandpas or grandmas. Kindergartners brought in 100 items from home, counted by 10s, made cereal necklaces with 100 Froot Loops, and did a 100-day activity challenge. A variety of art projects also included the number 10, and students wrote about their 100 wishes.
With Valentine’s Day falling in the same week, it was a whirlwind week for kindergartners!
