120 Days of School...Cool!

With the new standards many of us are looking at celebrating 120 Days of School instead of 100.

And others may choose to celebrate both.

This packet is filled with suggestions and activities to help your 120th day to be perfect with 120 SMILES from all!

There is vocabulary for posting and a countdown to the 120th day.

There is also a reward certificate in color or black and white.

I usually stick a little treat to it like "Smarties".

Parent communication includes a letter explaining the special day of celebration and what you need their support with.  It also includes reminder slips for the shirt and for the snack item.

There is a Counting Mat to include for counting snack items.

There are gum ball machines for counting.  I love using Qtips and colorful paint for making 120 gum balls.  

There is a writing activity about the snack and an "I can...___ in 120 seconds" challenge.

Headbands come in black and white and color.

There are glasses for students to decorate and wear as well as the number 120 to decorated and put on a stick. I hang ribbons on it for the celebration.

Activities are provided to write about their shirts and about the celebration.

Thinking about the number 120 and what they would like or not like as well as a graphic organizer.

Writing pages are included but not shown here.

 There is also an explanation on making number puzzles for students using number grids on color paper to 120.  They will LOVE these.

An interactive mini book is included and a creative thinking page on what they imagine they will be like at 120 years old.

Celebrating 120 Days of School

With the new standards many are moving from100 Day Celebration to 120 Day Celebrations and some may be doing both.  Given a suggestion from a follower here is a packet filled with activities for 120 Days.  I did differ it from the 100 Day packet.  There are lesson suggestions included in the packet.

The packet has vocabulary for posting.  Great for reviewing those key number words and fit with the packet theme.

A certificate both in color and in black and white depending on your ink availability.

This is a note I hang on the door 10 days before to get the class excited and thinking about this special day!

 A note is prepared for parents letting them know what they will be responsible for.   The note is followed with reminders to send closer to the due date. 

This is a crown for kiddos to color and wear on the special day.

A note is available about the snack and this is the activity that accompanies it.

The kiddos love this.  Who knew 120 seconds could go so fast.  There is a page for front to back copying for the kiddos to write on.

This page is versatile.  I have them use markers of different colors.  You can also use q tips and paint. The larger on is perfect for bingo markers or dot stickers.

 Students can draw pictures of their shirt or I like to take a picture and place it in this spot for the children to take home of them in their shirt and crown.

 There is a booklet with 8 pages of memories form 120 days of school.

It is fun for the class to use their imagination and write.

 Fun with money equalling 120 cents.

 Then fun with the number grid.  

Puzzles

Game

Writing Numbers

 And ending the day with thoughts about 120.  The word work is a great final activity.  Form teams.  Can your class come up with 120 words?
