100th Day of School!

Kindergarten worked with their 3rd grade buddy classes to create a 100th Day of School Museum. Students chose a small item from home that they could bring 100 of to school. In this project-based learning unit, students worked with their buddies to create their own museum exhibit showing how they would group their items to equal 100. Today, Kindergarten parents were invited in to view our 100th Day of School Museum!
