As you can see by the pictures below, our one hundredth day was a busy one. We answered most of the questions the students had and a few more that they thought of throughout the day.
As the students were working, they tweeted out each “story” of one hundred using the hash tag #100storiesof100″ (the students actually made that hash tag up themselves). We knew we wouldn’t be able to get one hundred tweets from just our class, but with the help of our friends in other classes who were also celebrating the one hundredth day of school this week, we were actually able to collect 112 student tweets. I have put these tweets (minus retweets and teacher organizational tweets) into a Storify.
The students were excited to get 100 tweets and poured over the tweets during their independent reading time. There is nothing like meaningful text to inspire children to read! Here are a couple of sample tweets from the day.
It looks like you have had super fun. Congratulations on your 100th day. We are on day seven of our school year. We read on your tweets you made a story out of 100 toothpicks, we like the sound of that.
Wow your classroom has so many resources. I am jealous! How are the behavioral aspects of your classroom. How is the parent involvement. Do you guys celebrate veterans day (holiday or school day)?
Yes, we are fortunate to have as many resources as we do, as well as eager students and parents who love and support their children. Yes, we do celebrate what we call Remembrance Day on November 11th.
