100 Post Cards!
We are counting down to the 100th Day of Kindergarten and we need help! We will be making our own collections of 100 things, but as a class we are trying to collect 100 post cards. Near or far - we don't care where they come from. Please help us out and send one our way! Our address is:

Jan. 17th - Our first post card is here! It came from The Count at Sesame Place!!! We are SO excited!!
January 29th - We are 1/4 of the way there!!! There are only 12 more school days until the 100th Day of School!!!
January 30th - There are only 11 days left! We have 33 post cards now. We have been busy grouping our cards into sets of 10 - it makes it so much easier to count them every day!
January 31st - We are over half way there! Today was a record day - 20 post cards in one day!!! The children discovered that it would be a lot easier to count our post cards every day if we grouped them into sets of 10 (they are so smart!!). Total so far...53!
February 3rd - Our postcards today are super special - they are ALL homemade!!! Total so far...59! 9 days left...
February 4th - As we like to say...HOLY CANNOLI!!!! Today was our best day EVER for post cards! The children are applying all of our math skills through this project. It is so exciting hearing them use strategies to carefully count how many cards we have, how many more they need for another set of 10 and how many left to get to 100. This is real life math at it's best! Check out the team work below that happened today. Total so far...94!!! Only 6 more to go! And I did hear children say today..."Maybe we can make it to 200!" :) So...keep them coming!
We made it!!!!!!!!!! Our 100th post card arrived today, along with several others. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! We will continue to count and share our post cards with you every day. We are making predictions about how high we will go!
Ok...now that we reached our goal thanks to all of you, we are making predictions of how many post cards we will get in the end. What a great way for us to learn how to write numbers into the hundreds!
