100's Day Learning Fun

Fuller Meadow students finally got to celebrate the 100th day of school today. Mrs. Kennedy's Second Grade Super Stars started the day by sharing how they had becomce 100 days smarter in the second grade. Many second graders shared that they are smarter now because they can multiply and divide and they didn't know how to multiply and divide on the first day of school. Another activity we did today was work in teams to do complete some STEM activities using 100 objects. The creativity each group displayed was so unique at each station. We also discussed why it is important to be able to successfully work in a team together to produce one project. This is a life long skill that many adults need to be successful at their jobs. With Mrs. Baker's help, our final activity for the day was making a Chatterpix video . After taking pictures using the Aging Booth app the second graders shared what they will have accomplished when they are 100 years. Please take my advice and do not try this app on yourself! Most of the students were quite amused by what what they might look like 100 years old, however some were not and opted out of this activity. What a fun filled day of learning we had today.
