Celebrate the 100th day of school!
The 100th day of school is celebrated in schools around the country, usually in mid-February. Your class will enjoy a break from the normal routine as they practice math skills using games and activities based on the number 100. Some teachers may also include a visit from "Zero the Hero" on day 100 (or on dates ending in zero, every tenth day, etc.).

Books for Teaching the 100th Day of School
100th Day of School by Angela Shelf Medearis, illustrated by Joan Holub, is among one of the books that can be used to show your students how other classes celebrate the 100th day of school. Ask your students if they would like to try any of the activities that the other class did.

Parent Activity
Math/Art/Science As the 100th day of school approaches, help your child begin a collection of some kind – stamps, postcards, baseball cards, etc. – that will have lasting value. Research the items online and count, study and organize the items in the collection together. Take pictures of the initial collection for your child to reflect upon as his or her hobby grows.
