Mandalay kindergarteners are 100 days brighter

Mandalay Elementary School kindergarten students in Kristine Rogate’s class celebrated the first 100 days of the 2020-2021 school year with an array of activities to commemorate the momentous occasion. Divided into stations, the activities were designed to bolster English language arts, mathematics and art skills the students have acquired since the fall semester began in September.

Using brightly colored paint, students painted dots on a picture of a gumball machine, separating each color into groups of 10 until reaching 100. The class was also instructed to write down 100 words seen throughout the classroom and to make a “100 Days Brighter” crown. Groups of students also played the dice roll game in which they each rolled the dice until they reached the number 100 on a grid. Their favorite activity, however, was dressing as if they were 100-year-olds.
