It's the one hundredth day of school! I know when I was in school we never even knew when the hundredth day was, but this seems to be a fairly common thing now. There's even a song about it on Starfall.
Kate's teacher gave each of the students a big sheet of paper to put one hundred things on. Grandma Mary sent Kate some cute butterfly stickers for Valentine's Day, so we decided to do one hundred butterflies.
Kate put the stickers together and then made these cute little fingerprint butterflies with my stamping ink.
Here's the final result! Stickers, drawings, stamps, fingerprints (the large fingerprints are mine), and lots and lots of punchies. The funny-looking one at the bottom is a Shark Butterfly.
We also sent along one hundred raisins for the "100 day trail mix." (Actually the paper that Kate brought home said "trial mix," but I'm assuming that was a typo.)
What an exciting week it's been at school! And it's only Tuesday!

Oh, I don't know: I reckon having to count out 100 raisins makes it trial mix. :-)
We didn't mark the 100th day of school when I was growing up, either, but all my children (so far--I only have 1 left to go) have.
Cute butterflies!
Awe! What a cute collage - love this!
awe I love the butterflies! Great job
we did the 100th day of school thing when i was in first grade, but that was the only year. every day in the morning we would count how many days of school had passed, we kept track on a big chart. and then on the 100th day we had a "100 party". I remember it being fun.
I am thirty by the way, so this happened in the mid-80's.
Here in Belgium we celebrate only 100 days of school left to go. :)
Love the butterflies.
I suspect it's easier to keep track of 100 days now that so many schools use calendar math. Every grade I know of keeps track of the first 100 days--with different patterns depending on the grade--on adding calculator tape.
My favorite part of the 100 days celebration is when we have 100 seconds of SILENCE.
