100th Day of School Activities

Depending on your school district’s calendar, the 100th day of school will be sometime this month!! Here are some great ideas for celebrating the 100th day milestone!

Xerox a copy of $100 bill and have the kids write what they would buy if they had $100 to spend all around the printed bill.
Collect 100 books to donate to a local library or Boys and Girls club.
Make 100 cards for local nursing home residents
Students draw pictures of themselves when they are 100 years old. They write about what the world will be like that far in the future.
As a class, or individually, write 100 things you are thankful for.
In groups, see what the students can build with 100 Legos.

Activities and Ideas for the 100th Day of School

I’m in deep denial about the fact that new year is almost upon us again! It’s been the fastest and the longest year at the same time, and I can look back and see some good things as well as some things I wish had gone differently.

Doing a year in review with your kids — whether in the classroom or at home — is a good way to capture some of their memories and the things they really liked about the year gone by.

There are a lot of different printable year in review worksheets you can use if you want to make this super easy. Here are links to a few (often part of larger posts about NYE celebrations with kids that are worth a read, too):

Teach Beside Me has lots of fun printables fro the end of the year, including a year in review that covers favorite memory, funniest memory and the best book they read, among other topics.
NurtureStore‘s version has space for a self-portrait and prompts like favorite toy, best day out this year and future dream job.
Remember favorites, their “best idea” of the year and have room for setting goals for next year with this one from The Keele Deal.
The year in review from Yes We Made This has room for drawing or writing and includes things like something they learned, a memory they made and a place they visited.

Of course you could pretty easily make your own year in review for the whole family to do that asks questions based on what you most want to remember. (Favorite video game? Best friend? Favorite family memory?)

And if after the year in review you’re ready to look ahead a bit, Mrs. Merry has new year’s resolution printables to inspired kids to look ahead and set goals for things they want to try. You can totally fill this one out as a grownup, too.
