100th Day of School

We were very excited to finally reach our 100th day of school.  Granted, public schools hit that milestone a while back.  That's the blessing of home schooling as we get to go at our own pace and as you see, we ultimately reached our goal as well.

Each day of school we put a stick in a cup and count the number of sticks in the cup that day.  When we'd get to 10 sticks we'd rubber-band them together and put them in a 2nd cup.  This 2nd cup was our ten's cup.  Every time we added a bundle of ten sticks to the cup we'd count them, counting by "ten's," of course.

Here is Caleb counting out our last ten sticks, making up the final grouping of ten sticks to reach 100.


Then he laid the groups of ten sticks out on the table and counted those, counting by ten's, until he reached 100.


Here is his 100 chart.  Each day of school he would write the number for that day on the chart.  If you look closely, you can see the progress he's made in writing his numbers.  You can nearly see the confidence coming out on the chart. 


What a fun goal to finally get to this day!!  Yea-haw!!

In His Name,
Pam
