The 100th day of school is a great time to have a little celebration! I love to incorporate center style activities in my classroom to help make the day run smoothly. Working with a partner, students will attempt to beat the clock to complete the task! Each activity will run for 60 seconds. All activities can easily be used as whole group, also.
