100th Day

Today was the 100th day of school and everyone had so much fun! We started out the morning by having a 100 year old costume contest. We took a class vote to determine our best boy and best girl costume, then met all of first grade out in the pod to have a grade level vote. The boy from our class took best overall boy in the grade level! He had a great costume, but it was his acting skills that secured him the win! He was hobbling on his cane like an old man and speaking slowly. TOO CUTE!

After our grade level vote, we took all the kids who dressed up on a parade around the school. We interruped Ms. Shoffit in a meeting so everyone could yell, "hello whippersnapper!" hahaha!

The costume contest and parade took up a large chunk of our morning. With what was left we made a birthday book for a friend in our class and worked on a 100th day project. Each student was giving a dicut of the number 100. They had to use the numbers to make a picture of something. Some of my friends had such creative ideas. I personally love this one:

What a fun morning! I know Ms. Coburn had lots of fun 100th day activities planned in her classroom this afternoon as well.

Hard to believe, but after today there are only 80 more days of first grade!

100 Years Old

Happy 100th Day of School!

Oh my goodness do we have some ADORABLE old people here in first grade today! Thanks so much to all the parents who helped their children dress up as a 100 year old man or woman. The costumes are just precious! It was SO hard to pick the best ones!

This morning we met out in the pod with all of first grade and modeled our costumes. Then, we took a walk around the school as a mini parade to show off our costumes. Everyone LOVED them! All the kids were hobbling around like they were really 100 years old and calling out "hello whippersnapper". It was hilarious! I REALLY wish I could post pictures for everyone to see.

All the students who dressed up today get to have a special "mix it up" at lunch and sit together at the "senior citizens table". hehe :)

We are having too much fun this morning!

100th day Costume Ideas

I can hardly believe that Monday will be the 100th day of school! This year is flying by!

To celebrate the 100th day we are asking students to dress up like they are 100 years old for a costume contest. We sent home a paper about this last week so you could begin thinking about ideas. Here are some ideas and pictures to give you an idea (I pulled each of these pictures off of google, so they are not my own):

Girls: printed skirt, pearls, eyeglasses, sweater, wig or curled hairstyle, gray hair spray, knee high stockings, large purse, scarf

Boys: Button down shirt, flannel shirt, suspenders, tie, eyeglasses, drawn on mustache or beard, gray hair spray
