Fun Friday Photos… a lot of them!!

Yesterday, we had a great day!  It was *finally* our 100th day of school!!!  But before I get into that, I wanted to show you what I got from my super cool bloggy Valentine exchange partner, Lisa from Made in the Shade in 2nd Grade:

The girl did her homework!!  She gets an A+ in my class 🙂  Sour Patch kids, mint chocolate chip gum, post-its, a SUPER cute magnet, and my *favorite* Jelly Apple Essie nail polish… which my nails just so happen to be painted with…!  THANK YOU girl!!



I also wanted to share what we made on Thursday:

Don’t you just LOVE it?!  I saw the idea on Mrs. Lemons’ blog, Step into 2nd Grade with Mrs. Lemons, and knew I had to do it immediately!  So I made time for it the next day 😉  The craft is inspired by the book Love, Splat.  Love this book!  Honestly, I wasn’t a fan of the original Splat… but this Valentine’s book brought a tear to my eye.  Seriously, I almost cried!  {I cry over everything, if that wasn’t clue enough lol.}  I decorated my door with these cute kittens:

Whew!  So Friday was finally, finally, finally our 100th day of school.  I know many of you celebrated and blogged about it weeks ago… but I’m so proud of how my kiddos handled the whole day, that I just have to share!


I started the day with this “Can we get 100 compliments?” chart:

I told them that if they could earn 100 compliments {from me or other teachers}, I would give them a secret prize {mini notebooks with a $100 bill cover}.  Let me tell you: they.were.so.good.  I should do this everyday!  Seriously, they were the quietest, politest, sweetest, most thoughtful kids ever!  🙂  Did we meet our goal?  Of course we did:

In the afternoon, we did 100th day stations.  I set up five stations:
{1} My littles created gumball machines, because we had a “ball” on the 100th day!!

And a close-up of the board title:
{2 and 3} The kiddos created themselves, as 100 year olds… and wrote a sentence or two about it:
{idea from Mrs. Jump}
{4} Students had to use their 100 counting mats to collect 100 fruit loops for necklaces!  It was so hard for us not to eat all the fruit loops– they smelled delicious!
{idea from Erica Bohrer’s First Grade}

{5} Students had to record what their friends brought in for their 100th day collections.

Well, that’s that!  My hubby surprised me with reservations tonight at one of our *favorite* restaurants, PF Chang’s!  So I’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day a bit early 🙂


Hope you all have a great weekend!  Don’t forget to enter my Juicy Couture lunch tote giveaway… it ends tonight!
