Ethan has made it to a the big 100. 100 Days of School. They have been an adventure of excitement and learning as well as frustration and tears. But whatever the feeling...there is an accomplishment here. His sweet teacher did it up big. Since I'm behind in my posts I'll be able to tell you more about that. First we needed to do a project that he could present to the class. You had to honor the number 100 by using it as a theme and having that many of a thing to create it with. At first I thought a lego tower. Then maybe buttons. Then it hit me...those funny little plastic beads that you fuse together with the iron! Perfect. So we used 100 tiny beads to create an actual "100". But we couldn't end it there...why not make one for every student in the class??? Hours later and with cramped up hands we were quite proud of our pile. They had themes ranging from the Yankees to Boba Fett but they were all pretty cool.
I went to school yesterday to help with the celebration. We made 100 days Snack Mix. They colored crowns, made necklaces and had cute little glasses to wear. Everyone presented their projects. Some were absolutely incredible. There were counting games, dice games and coloring books. To an adult or even an older kid this is no big deal...but I'm glad that I was reminded of the milestone this truly is to my little guy. We're over halfway there...whew!
