Celebrating 100 Days of Learning in Kindergarten

On Monday, February 2, Mrs. Trusso’s kindergarten classroom reached a major milestone when they celebrated their 100th day of school. Since their journey began on August 18, these young learners have spent over five months building early learning foundational skills and confidence that are part of their kindergarten year of school.

In kindergarten, children learn to count by ones and to skip count by 10s. During the 100 Days activity, our kindergartners used hands-on learning, to explore the number 100 in fun ways. Students brought a collection of 100 items to share with their classmates including Lego bricks, candy, paperclips, dry pasta, crayons, Cheerios, cotton balls, stickers, pennies and puzzle pieces. With these items, students practiced: 

•  Collections & Counting: Students showcased 100 items from home, practicing counting strategies like grouping by 10s.
•  Math in Action: Sorting and organizing materials helped reinforce early numeracy in a tangible way.
•  Presentation Skills: Each student took a turn explaining their project, using the moment to practice clear communication and public speaking.

Parent volunteers were on hand to assist with the various stations, helping students navigate their projects and building their project with snacks or things they had brought from home.

Reaching the 100th day of school is an important milestone in kindergarten, offering students a chance to reflect on how much they have learned since August and look ahead to what’s still to come. With the last day of school set for June 11, students now have about 80 days left to continue learning, growing and creating memories together.
