100 things for 100 days of school

My son's 100th day of school was last Friday. He brought in 100 silly bands and they were all different. :rolleyes1 They counted by 1's, 5's and 10's. We decided not to bring something glued down because it would be hard to count with.
 

today was our 100th day (celebrating the hump and counting down the days until May!!) Here is a list of what was brought into my son's class, in his group they brought in M&M's (my son) Cheerios, Raisins, Marshmallows, pretzels, popcorn, peanuts, cheezits, goldfish, cap'n crunch.

we can't do food (rats and mice and roaches) so we did paperclips glued onto posterboard.
 
I sent one DS with 100 mini cupcake wrappers and the other with 100 mickey stickers. I was going to send 100 FPs but he had to describe the items so the kids could try to guess and that wasn't going to work.
 
we've done m and m's, conversation hearts, and pennies..this year my 5 year olds teacher sent home a 8x11 piece of paper with a heart in the middle ...the hundred items needed to be non food and fit in the heart...light enough to hang on the wall in school..ugh...lol...we did stickers...100 very small stickers..LOL
 
My son plays ice hockey so last year for his 100 day project I copied a picture of a hockey puck 100 times, cut them out and then attached to a hockey stick to be displayed. But you could easily take any sport or hobby symbol and copy 100X and put in a paper bag.



To the poster asked if this 100 day is new, I can say I started teaching in the mid 90's and we were doing it then. :)
 
I have never heard of this:confused3
Yey so many of you are posting that others have done it-is it a new activity in school?

I started this 12 years ago with my 1st grade classes.

We have just a few guidelines for the activity:

1) no food items
2) project must be displayed in a creative way (don't just bring in 100 items in a bag)
 
My child took 100 water balloons, empty of course :laughing: Their teacher had them attach them to posterboard. It was very colorful.
 
A girl in my son's class brought in 100 Barbie shoes.

Darn I wish I had seen that before we did ours! I think I could have gone upstairs and come up with that many pretty quickly. :lmao: I so would have had DD done that. It would have saved me the money I spent on stickers!

Yep truedisneyfan, good luck to them if they try to keep count of DD's 100 sticker art! I might have had a little bit of a mean streak at having to do the project. ;) I don't recall anyone ever making a fuss out of 100 days of school when I was a kid.
 
My DS took 100 wheels from matchbox cars that had seen better days.
 
By far, the easiest 100 things are puzzle pieces from a 100 piece puzzle! They are already counted for you!

My son is doing this both in kindergarten and day care.

For kindergarten, he needs to do three things. 100 food items (we were assigned Rice Chex) to add to a 100 Days Trail Mix, 100 items to count (I will send in beads), and he is to "wear" 100 items on a shirt for a fashion show. I will loosely sew 100 beads in the shape of a "J" on his shirt for that day.

For day care he just needs 100 items to count. More pony beads for that!
 
Last year, I made DS (then 5) a t-shirt with 100 Mickey heads on it. It was a HUGE hit and it made another appearance at WDW a few weeks later!

My ds took 100 small legos. We also made him a shirt with 100 tiny, rainbow colored buttons glued on to form the number 100!
 
We live in NW Florida along the Gulf Coast, so we are in the middle of the Mardi Gras season now, and my daughter's 100 day of Kindergarten was yesterday.

We counted out 100 Mardi Gras strands of beads and divided them in groups of ten. Each group was bound by a strip of cardstock so that they would not become tangled, and I had my 6-yr-old write 10 on each strip. I placed the groups in a green/purple gift bag that we happened to have, hanging out over the sides, so it was very festive looking.

I also dressed my daughter in her Mardi Gras pillow case dress and she had huge purple/green/gold bows in her pigtails!! After show and tell time, she gave out one strand of the beads to each classmate at the end of class to her classmates with the help of her teacher, and brought the rest home.
