100 Days of School

Everyday at home school we check the calendar and keep track of how many days of school we have had. On the 100th day of school we celebrated by going to McDonalds for lunch.  We even ate inside and played on the toys there.  Checking the calendar teaches days of the week, months, numbering and place value.  We put a pixie stick in a jar for each day and then after 10 days we group them with a rubber band. We were going to eat all 100 pixie sticks but we didn't.  We're going to keep counting and eat them all on the last day of school.
