100 Days of Math

In honor of the 100th Day of School, I decided to do a special project for math. After learning about polyhedrons - including the tetrahedron, the hexahedron and the octahedron each student received 100 toothpicks and 100 marshmallows. Students were challenged to build assorted geometric solids. We also discussed vertices, angles, edges and faces. As you can probably imagine, students were very eager to participate and had a fantastic time!

Towards the end of the day we were invited to Mrs. Woodard's classroom to peruse the 3rd grade annual 100th Day of School Projects

 I heard quite a bit of speculation regarding what current 2nd graders plan 
to do next year for their 100th day project! 

 We got to ask the 3rd graders questions about their projects.

Before we left, lo and behold, another Kindergarten class came parading though Mrs. Woodard's room!
