100 Day Celebration

Today is the 100th day of the year!!!  Rachel skip counted by 2s to 100 this morning.  Ford wrote the number 100 several times.  Ruby helped me count out 100 almonds to share for a snack.  When we got to Vanessa's we also counted out 100 M&Ms and had those for a little snack.  We made a 100 sign with tiny pieces of paper (WAY more than 100 pieces!!) and we made hats that had the number 100 on them.  We also randomly read a story this morning about sea turtles and Ford noticed that they lived to be at least 100 years old.  Rachel practiced writing the words "one hundred" for handwriting today.  By far, the biggest hit of all was the hats (and maybe the M&Ms...)  It's been a great day.  This morning as we were doing our work, I realized that no one was whining or complaining or arguing and I had one of those moments of this is what we're supposed to be doing.  It was an awesome day!!
