Students dress the part to commemorate 100 days of school

How to arrive at 100? Let us count the ways.
 
Students at the Early Childhood Center dressed like 100-year-old men and women to celebrate the district reaching 100 days of school this year. They also played games and worked on lessons that involved the century mark as a way to expand their learning in the field of math.
 
Calling attention to the 100th day is a great way for elementary school teachers to celebrate the various mathematical concepts that can be taught using the number 100.
 
 
A favorite annual activity is to dress like people, stereotypical or not, who have reached triple digits in age.
 
In the elementary years, developing basic numeracy skills is a critical component of math instruction, according to Blog Edmentum. "With that in mind, it’s easy to see how the 100th day of class is a great opportunity to test those skills in fun and exciting ways."
