This 100th Day of School Party Worksheet is a great way to teach your kids about the author and illustrator of a book to celebrate the 100th day of school.
We made it to 100!
The 100th Day of School is a big kindergarten party with a lot of math tucked inside. Kids have been counting every school day since the first one, and now they reach 100! They count to 100 by ones and tens, make collections of 100 small things and group them into ten groups of ten: 10, 20, 30... 100. They also write, draw and imagine, like what they will look like at 100 years old. The click moment comes when kids see that 100 is just ten tens all put together.
The best 100th Day activities are hands-on, a little silly and full of counting.
Have each child bring or make a collection of 100 small items, like cereal or buttons. Together, sort them into ten cups of ten and count by tens. Building 100 with their own hands makes the number real.
Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Why it works: short practice spread over several days beats one long session, according to a large review of learning research (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).
Set up stations for counting, writing and art on the big day. Kids rotate through, counting 100 snacks, writing "If I had 100..." and making a 100th Day crown. Mixing activities keeps energy high and learning going.
Why it works: shuffled practice teaches kids to choose the right strategy, not just repeat one, and it improved test scores in research (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).

They count to 100, make collections of 100 objects, group things into tens and do fun crafts like 100th Day crowns. Many classes have a small party to celebrate.
A collection of 100 small items glued in ten groups of ten is a classic. Kids can also decorate a shirt with 100 things or draw themselves at 100 years old.
It is a fun way to celebrate learning and build number sense. Counting up to 100 days helps kids understand big numbers, tens and ones.
