This Is What 100 Looks Like Activity

Establishing a strong home-school connection is so important. It's so important to get parents involved in their child's learning and to foster a love of learning by creating fun, engaging, and meaningful activities to complete at home. This sorting and counting 100 objects activity is the perfect solution. Simply place a This Is What 100 Looks Like Label on a Large Neon Gift Bag and send home with each child. Have the child work with the parents to count 100 objects that can easily fit inside the bag. Oriental Trading has a number of toy assortments that students can use to count out 100 objects. My favorite is this Spring Assortment! After practicing counting by 1's, 5's, 10's, and 2's, the child will bring the bag into class to share. This can be extended in the classroom by focusing on sorting and/or counting strategies.
