Story
Fancy Nancy: The 100th Day of School (I Can Read Level 1)
by Jane O'Connor
With the 100th day of school just around the corner, Nancy finds herself utterly stumped. She can’t think of anything exciting, special, or imaginative enough to bring in to class to commemorate the day. Just as Nancy begins to lose hope, she finds inspiration from an unexpected source—and learns that even sad events can bring with them a glimmer of beauty.

Math
100 Day Ruler
Need: Computer Paper, pen, ruler, pictures
Take computer paper and tape together or use the kind that is still attached. Have your child make a 100 inch ruler along one side and place pictures of family and friends at their proper height measurement. The top picture can be of an Ostrich because their average height is 100 inches. This ends up to be quite long but looks great hanging up in the classroom.

Mathwire 100 Days of School Activities:
Fabulous math activities! Name pattern, 100 ways to represent the number 100 and much more.
100 items in the containers?
On a numbered sheet of paper children guess if the container has 100 items in it. Count the items and tally who got the most correct.
Book Shopping(grade 2+)
I use of all those Scholastic Book order forms! Students look through the book order forms cutting out books (under $5 each) that
they would like to "buy" and glue it on a recording sheet include the price. Students use calculators to add totals. The object of the activity is "Spend $100 EXACTLY for Books".
Snack
100 Snacks
Need: baggies - preferably the big ones; 10 types of snack food
This activity is great for any age. Set out 10 different types of snack foods (cheezies, M&Ms, Whoppers, grapes, etc). Have the children put 10 of each snack into their baggies. By the time they are finished, they have 100 snacks in their bags. This is great for allowing little children to see how much is 100 and it is excellent to teach older children about multiplication.

100 Days of School
Need: Front side of $100 bill blackline, copied and laminated, 1 medium size, white gift bag with handles (with 100 Days on the one side) , 21 copies of the front side of a $100 bill blackline, copied and laminated
21 pencils , 21 crayon erasers (my classroom theme is crayons)
Before my students arrived on the 100th day of school, I hid laminated $100 bills all over the room. When we took a "brain break," the students searched the room for the bills. When all the bills were found, the students could buy a pencil or eraser out of my bag for $100. We did this twice (I hid them again when they were at PE) so every student was guaranteed a pencil and eraser. They had a great time!
