100th Day of School Projects



I AM SO SORRY this is last minute. But, I think it would be fun to do a 100th day of school project. Since you will have a 4 day weekend, this should give you ample time to create something with your child.

The assignment is to create something out of 100 objects. Get creative! You can use tooth picks, legos, food items, popsticle sticks, etc.

Below are some items that might help you along. As you and your child complete the project, please make sure your child practices counting to 100.
