100th day of school


I cannot believe we have finished 100 days of homeschool! It felt like such a huge accomplishment! We celebrated our 100th day with some fun activities. We started our morning with some excersise where each of us came up with an excercise and we did it 10 times. We took turns coming up with a new one. So we did 10 different excersises 10 times each to equal 100. I learned a lot with this activity, I learned that I am very out of shape and my kids are not.

We always start our morning with devotions so today we read Psalm 100. It is such a beautiful Psalm!


And we checked the weather and were pleasantly surprised that there was a 100% chance of rain. I have NEVER seen that on weather bug before for our area.


We then did a science project to see if something would sink or float. The kids wanted to try out 100 things but that wasn't going to happen. So we really didn't incorporate the 100 into this experiment but the kids still enjoyed it. They each made a chart with their predictions and then saw if they were right. Jadon guessed right 100% of the time. He loves science!


They also counted out 100 cheerios, Pops, and noodles. Anna grouped hers in 5's, Camden did 10's and Jadon did too.



We are not sure how this happened but it does make for a funny picture.


For Camden's reading time, he read this book:

And yes, he read 100 words! I was such a proud mommy!

The kids also did what they wanted with this 100 chart. Camden chose to count by 3's so he colored all the other squares leaving the 3's times tables. He has such a mind for math.

Jadon chose to be artistic and create this.

Anna was not interested in this project but did manage to color in the first 20 squares before she lost interest. And we still managed to get our math lesson, grammar, spelling, and reading in and after a busy morning of homeschool and Karate class, we went to DQ for some yummy ice cream to celebrate!
W are looking forward to the next 100 days of homeschool.

Congratulations on your first 100 days of school! I look forward to hearing about your next 100...

The first Psalm we memorized was Psalm 100. It's one of my favorites!
