In Kindergarten, my daughter had the assignment of coming up with a 100th day of school art project. I remember this well from my other two kids, as with my few years teaching kindergarten and first grade. It’s so fun to brainstorm ideas…first we talked about it.
K: Can we do 100 dollars?
Me: In Monopoly money, maybe.
K: Can we do 100 kittens?
Me: Probably not!
Then we strolled in Target searching the food aisles.
K: We can do 100 apples!
Me: That is a lot to carry!
K: How about 100 Go-gurts?!
Me: Something smaller.
Finally, in the Valentine’s Day section we came across candy conversation hearts. Perfect.
First we counted out 10 hearts. Then we made 10 piles of 10. We counted by 10’s to get to 100. We added, we multiplied, we divided. 
Then I said, “go for it!” She made pictures with my help with glue. Hearts, stars, a flower, her first initial. Then she adhered every one of those 100 candies onto cardstock paper. She even read most of them. “Mom, what’s loll mean?” Oh she means LOL (laugh out loud)…she’ll learn that soon enough on modern technology.
“I’m tired. You finish my name mom.”
Minus a few that fell off in transport, we made it to school and did a quick touch up.
The 100th day falls on her 6th birthday this Friday. Such a happy week for my youngest!
Awe, that looks adorable. It is wonderful how “big” they think. I hope they never lose that ability to dream. Sounds like a fun, and tasty, project.
100 kittens! How cute!
Ha! I’m sure the teacher would have loved that on top of her 33 kids in the classroom! <3
What a cleaver idea!
And definitely a cleaver way to get in that math lesson 😉
What a cute idea. My daughter Hannah had to do a school project with 100 items too, she used paperclips.
When I dropped my daughter off at school yesterday, a lot of kids were carrying in their 100 day projects. I saw some really cool and unique items they used. If i can only remember them when my daughter has to do one of these projects in the future. The little hearts are cute.
Awww… what a fun idea!!
Awww how cute, and a fun idea for my kids at home to do:) I love how it turned out, perfect!
What a great idea! Looks like she had fun making it too!
Cute! We celebrate 100 Days at our school too. For us, we had to bring 100 of something for the 100 Day Museum! Oi! They said in the past parents brought Bouncy Balls, Hot Wheels and V-Day Hearts. Pressure! I ended up going to the $ store and getting 100 FireMen (similar to the toy soldiers from Toy Story). LOL. It cost me $3, because there were 48 firemen in a bag.
