Today was the 100th day of Leah's preschool. Even though we began the first Monday in August, it has taken us until May 4th to get to this big day because we average 4 days of preschool a week, plus we took 5 weeks off around Christmastime.Each preschool day since August we have counted the days of school by putting an index card on the wall with that day's number. Leah has easily learned to count to 100 by counting every day.
Here is the number wall
Breakfast--counting 100 cheerios from the bowl
the 100 cheerios At lunch I asked Leah what her favorite 100 Day activity was. She reported that the 100 seconds of exercise was her most favorite (no pictures of this because I was timing her), and counting and sticking 100 stickers was her next favorite.

This is too cute!! You have such enthusiasm for what you're doing with homeschooling!! I really admire that!
ReplyDeleteMy enthusiasm ebbs and flows...it could be because of menopause...or because this is my last child and I don't want it to go by too fast...who knows??
You are an inspiration, though, that's for sure! Thanks for sharing your great ideas! This will help our oldest who has our first grandchild and will be homeschooling her soon.
Have a joyful week!!

She's adorable! These are great ideas for the 100th day of school. I didn't keep track of our preschool days this year, but I will have to for Kindergarten in the Fall, just so we can do some fun stuff! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAvery says to tell Leah that looks like so much fun and wants to come to her school! LOL I love this idea and will plan for it next year! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHOW NEAT. I THINK I LIKE THE 100 M & M'S IDEA BEST! HA.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY DAY TO YOU ALL.
(WAS GOOD TO SEE YOU FRI. NIGHT)
CONGRATS TO LEAH!!!
I agree with Lynn, I'm not going to tell my children about your school otherwise I'm afraid that they will all request a school transfer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great fun way to celebrate 100 days of preschool.
Blessings,
Kimberly
It looks like you did some super activities for the 100 day celebration!
ReplyDeletePerhaps sometime you'd like to write a guest article for The Homeschool Classroom about your 100 day celebration! :)
