100 Day Party Celebration

100th DAY CELEBRATION TIME! IDEAS GALORE!!

Get out your party hats and glitter!!! We're getting ready for the BIGGEST party of the year! WELCOME!! I've got some new ideas and inspiration to share. 

100 DAY PARTY PLANNER! 

How close is your countdown, {or is it count-UP} getting to your 100th day celebration? I know many are getting tantalizingly close and others are further and further 'delayed' due to all of the weather cancellations to the calendar. Whatever your situation, I have some inspiration to share today. 

In my travels as "music-lady, author/illustrator woman' I get to make a lot of school visits during the year and I capture as many photos as possible during my travels. Here are some from my memory card over the last year. I've been waiting to pull them together to share! 

Isn't this first day-of-school goal what it's all about? Here's the evidence that Melanie wants to learn to count to 100! 

Time marches on. The days add up: stacking up one on top of the other. Then before you know it? We've made it all the way to the 100th! AND it is time for a party!!! Let's pull out all the stops! 

    

There's literally nothing better than a school milestone adorned with a photograph. Whether it is a holiday ornament or a hand-colored "100." You simply can not go wrong with inserting the student's photo! 

The former elementary school art teacher in me rejoices over these next anticipatory self portraits. These kinder-kiddos have been asked to create a forcasted portait of themselves as they hit the milestone of turning 100 YEARS old! These are just too dear for words! 

I can just imagine this group reconvening on their collective 100th Year for a reunion. I can envision that they will all play canasta together and have a big cake! I swear I saw a couple of these 100 year olds at church just last Sunday. I KNOW I saw some of that bauble jewelry! LUV LUV LUV it!! 

Next up are some creative ways that kinder-kids have combined the numerals "1-O-O" to make imagined creations. What a great way to stretch those creative engineering skills. Think outside of the box! 

Keeping track of the number of days: ON THE CEILING! 

This collaboration of counting 100 stars was hanging on the window blinds! 

Next up: Two different photos captured of classroom celebrations. 

Last Year about this time I did a RoundUP of all the inspiration I had seen up to that point. 

You SERIOUSLY must click back for all of those bulletin board ideas! 

Just in case you don't have time to click back to last year's article, I'll insert this brilliant idea here, too. 

It is one of the 'most pinned' images of my entire blog! 

Send a baggie home and ask for 100 items! 

Compare and contrast: weight, density = SCIENCE!!

I have written a song called "100 Days" to add to the festive parties from north to south and east to west. It is available in digital download format over at Teachers Pay Teachers. The chorus includes counting by 5's to one hundred and the big ending has counting by 10's..... with an Elvis Presley 'feel' throughout. 

Under the category of 'additional resources' I have been pinning ideas for your support under a pinboard dedicated to the celebration of the 100th day. There are oodles of resources here. 

If you've made it this far and you're actually READING..... then you need to go over to the blog, "Classy Mommy" because she has a RoundUP of the ULTIMATE guide to FREEBIES for the 100th Day.  You'll find the pin on my pinboard, but I thought you'd want the direct link to save you a step! 

In real time I am in Texas! 

Just flew out for fun in El Campo & Houston! 

The sky was so incredible outside my window. 

*I made you this little reminder as a thank you. 

I got to spend the day with Cheryl of "Crayons & Curls" blogging fame! Despite the excitement brought on by the winter weather in southern Texas and a two hour delay for ice-in-the-forecast.... the showS did indeed go on. I was able to present 5, yes FIVE presentations to their building filled with PreK, K and Firsties ONLY! Cheryl is the sweetest person you're likely to meet. 

Meeting my cyber-friends, that have lived in my computer..... for years...... for the first time? 

PRICELESS!!!
