4 Ms. Owings 4th grade class (S.F.I.) and Ms. Hare's Kindergarten class at Orendorf worked together to count to 100, make a necklace, and make the number 100. Here are some pictures from their activity.

5 Students from Miss Loughman's Kindergarten class and Mr. Kochenour's 5th Grade class celebrated with the 100th Day of school by finding 100 pieces to create multicolored necklaces. Students sorted all 100 pieces by color, counted by 10's, made tally marks, drew Base-10 blocks, and created a bar graph to represent the amount of each color was on their necklace. After all that learning, students needed a snack. They didn't have to look far, as their snack was hanging on their neck! Happy 100th Day of School!!
