This book is about the 100th day of school. It is a good, short book for the younger elementary grades. I read this book when I was a kid and decided to come back to it. I would use this book in my classroom on our 100th day of school. I would read the book to my students, and it lists a lot of different activities to do with your students on this day like counting 100 pennies, bows, etc. This would be a good book to use for a math lesson also.

This book is great for children who are developing readers and want to know a little more about math. Moreover, this book discusses how a class celebrates the 100th day of school by separating items into groups of different multiples that equal 100.

This book is about the 100th day of school and the many activities the students do to celebrate it. The students have a calendar marked to know when the 100th day comes and they count up to it. The students count to 100, they learn 100 words for a spelling bee, they plant 100 seeds, put 100 newspapers in ten stacks of tens, and many other 100 way things. I enjoyed this story and the many ways one can celebrate the 100th day of school. My favorite aspect of this story was the way math, science, and spelling can be incorporated into fun 100th day activities. This can be used in the classroom to get the students excited about the 100th day of school and even do some of the same activities that are in the book.

The 100th day of school is a very important one. This book goes over some activities that the students have done to celebrate the great day. They count 100 stars and 100 stickers. Al the kids are so excited that they get to count to 100 all day long.

I was at ,y placement for the 100th day of school and the kids really love it. One of the activities that we did that I enjoyed was the speed writing. Each child got a blank worksheet with a 100 from on it and they had to speed to see who could write the numbers 1-100 the fastest. It was very fun and it was good to see the friendly competition in the classroom.

I would use this short picture book for the 100th day of school. It is a fun read that allows children to see how to make 100 of something. It is a relatable book with activities that can be done in the classroom or at home.

This counting book acts as a reinforcer for young students learning how to count numbers. While reading the story, one can count out loud to 100. This is a story that touches on counting, but also allows students to have the opportunity to be creative when counting to 100.

This is a reliable story for students ages k-2nd grade because they usually still do calendar time every day. This book has loads of activities a class does to celebrate their own 100th day of school It would serve to be a good literature based lesson to read this story on the 100th day of school and then have the students try and do some of the activities the class in the story does throughout the day. Also it gets them excited and waiting in anticipation for the 100th day of school.

The book is a fun way to help children count from one to hundred. For kindergarten children, I would use this book in the classroom for mathematics because it describes grouping and dividing items. In addition, reading is incorporated into the book to ask children about predictions and to help with their comprehension.

This is a great book for students in grades k-2nd because they are usually still doing calendar time every day and are often counting how many days they have been in school. This book has a lot of activities that the class does to celebrate the 100th day of school. I would read this story on the 100th day of school and then have my students try a few of the activities.

I can still remember my 100th day of school celebration in first grade, it was the best day ever. Because of those good memories, I liked this book. However, the book doesn't really seem to teach a ton to the reader, and many of the solutions involved multiplication, which is a much higher level than first grade.

I loved this book when I was little and still love it today. It is really cute and fun for kids who are learning how to multiply and divide, but anyone younger wouldn't find it as fun, I think. It would be even cooler to read it in class on the 100th day of school, and have your kids do the same things as the kids do in the book.

A popular thing for teachers to do in elementary schools is to have a 100 days of school count, which is great that each day that are practicing their counting and skills. But this book only uses the number 100 as a vocabulary word, and has little mathematic content even happening! Could be used to introduce the activity to the class of celebrating the 100 days of school but in no other case.

Students can use this book to celebrate the 100th day of school. I would allow the children to pick one of the activities in the book to do for the 100th day of school celebration. This book will also help with counting and rhythm.

I love this book. I think counting up to 100 days with your students is so much fun and keeps them excited about school. Having a big party for the 100th day of school with all things relating to 100 is great for kindergartners and first graders.

My son says 5 stars. It's a book that features the number 100, and gives children a sense of passing time. There are rich activities, and there's no conflict. The illustrations are good.

Very simple and easy read aloud. Gives some good ideas for what a class can do for the 100th day or can be a great discussion of how you celebrated differently.
