101 Days in the Classroom
Everyone does 100 days in the classroom but I'm a Disney girl. Plus I like doing the unexpected! So in my classroom, we have a Dalmatian Celebration on the one hundred and first day of school. Here are some ideas for you.
The Basics
Wear polka dots. Black and white are preferable but anything will do. Take a class picture! Take pictures throughout the day.

Counting collections: I used Kix, Cocoa puffs and Chocolate Chex. I gave them fractions with unlike denominators (1/2 Kix, 1/4 Cocoa Puffs and 1/8 each of chocolate and regular chex) and had them make groups of 96. Then they had to separate the leftovers evenly.
