100 Day Celebrations at Saints Cyril and Methodius

Students at Saints Cyril and Methodius School in Deer Park had a great time celebrating their 100th Day of School this month, combining learning, laughter, brain power and physical activity. Each second grader created a poster project using one hundred items of his or her choice. Creations of every kind were presented, including 100 gumballs in a gumball machine, 100 goldfish in a fish bowl and 100 pom-poms on a cupcake representing sprinkles.

Students also enjoyed a classroom hunt for one hundred Hershey’s Kisses. Each chocolate was numbered, so once a student found a kiss, he or she placed it on the 100-Day chart. Once all of the treats were placed, it was time for the math fun to begin! Students used division to distribute the chocolates equally among their classmates. Each student ended up with five pieces of candy and the class had a remainder of fifteen to share with teachers and staff. The class also read A Hundred Ways to Celebrate 100 Days and got their bodies moving by pumping out 100 jumping jacks and hopping on one foot 100 times.
