This week we enjoyed the 100th day of school. In celebration, Connor had a project to bring in 100 things. What to do? USE UP THOSE STICKER BOOKS! He was really dedicated to this project. I did the lines and the numbers for him, but he selected and placed every single sticker. You should have seen the layout challenges...some stickers fit some places and not others and he noodled everything through very carefully. When it was all done, he entertained us several times by counting to 100, each time skipping number 13. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,14,15, etc. I have no idea what that's about--he doesn't actually skip it, he doubles up the 14s. I also notice that he really seems to suddenly understand the rhythm/cadence of counting. He gets that pause that comes right after the decades -- 28, 29, THIRTY____31, 32,33....
His teacher loved this project. His poster is displayed in he center of the class bulletin board. The other kids brought in cute stuff, too. 100 Fruit Loops, 100 army men, etc.

Dylan has to do a very similar project for his 100th Day, which is next Tuesday. We aren't sure what we'll do yet, I love the sticker idea. He is supposed to create a picture or structure out of 100 somethings... Nice job Conner!
