100th Day Burn Out!

Yesterday day we celebrated the 100th day of school and my kids were all kinds of excited! 

18 excited kids all day long = exhausted teacher by 3:00!

My students were greeted by this banner...

We decorated our 100th day crowns to wear for the day! 

We decorated our pizza with 20 mushrooms, 20 pieces of pepperoni, 20 pieces of cheese, 20 pieces of bell peppers, and 20 olives.  

We also decorated a gum-ball machine using 10 pieces of 10 different colors!

Decorating our hundreds sheets with 100 sticker *note to self BUY more stickers*!

Our end result displayed in the hallway, including our "Me today vs Me at 100" pictures: 

The pictures of them at 100 came out so darling! I loved them. 

Hope you have a great 100th day of school too!

And it is the time of year in Louisiana again: 

MARDI GRAS! 

Although I love Mardi Gras season and Mardi Gras Balls, and even our Mardi Gras Break :)

I am 100% looking forward to afterwards so I can SLOWWWW down a bit! Geez. 

Last weekend we attended a Mardi Gras ball. Brett's mother was the Queen of the Ball and looked fabulous! So happy for her!

In other news its my bday next Tuesday (January 31st)… look for a little surprise to celebrate it with me!

100 days smarter... and a 100 days more tired.

Well, we did it... and when I say we, I mean me! 

We made it through 100 days of school! 

In First Grade we like to throw a celebration each year to commemorate our accomplishment of 100 days of school. This usually entails switching from each teachers classroom to complete some sort of fun activity about the number 100. 

My activity was the always favorite 100s Fruit Loop Necklace. Students are asked to make a pattern using fruit loops sorted into groups of 10s. Then they string the group of 10 fruit loops  onto their necklace. Then, they repeat this same step in a different color until they make 100. My students do tend to lick their fruit loop necklaces (even after much warning not to) and get sugar all of their shirts (sorry parents). 

Yet, on the plus side it leaves my room smelling fresh and fruity! 

 As you can see my students were also asked to wear 100 day gear. We told the students to choose any article of clothing and decorate the item with 100 things. Most students chose to decorate a shirt. They looked to cute!

Below are pictures of my students in another teachers classroom. She had the students make 100th day Trail Mix. The students were asked to choose a snack from the bowl and sort that item into 10s (therefore they could have 10 pretzels, 10 marshmallows, 10 skittles, 10 gummies, etc.) I went in Ms. Thomas' room to snap pictures of my kids... and MAINLY to steal gummy bears from my children. Can you blame me?
