1. A penny for Your thoughts

Using 100 pennies is a simple and fun way to celebrate your 100th day at school. This is not only an educational project, but also a fun one (counting coins is a good math exercise!) It’s a great way to integrate money into the classroom. Use 100 pennies or a mixture of coins (quarters and dimes) to make a visually pleasing poster. You can have your child count and arrange the coins on a poster to create a fun design or pattern.

You can arrange the coins in the form of the number 100, a fun design such as a smiley or heart to show your appreciation for the hard work that your child has done. This activity reinforces math skills while giving your child an opportunity to touch coins.

Pro tip: Make the poster more interactive by writing down some fun facts about pennies and other coins. This will add to the educational value of your poster and also give it a new talking point when you show it off.

2. Open the Doors of Learning

The school is about opening new doors of knowledge and opportunity. Why not create an original poster with 100 doors? Use construction paper or a card to cut out 100 doors. Decorate them with stickers or drawings, fun designs or other elements that reflect what your child learned during the first 100 days. Label the doors using words or concepts that your child has already mastered, such as colours, shapes, letters, numbers or numbers.

The project will not only help your child to reflect on what they have learned but also encourage them to consider their educational journey. You can also let your child decorate the doors with drawings to show different skills or subjects they have learned in school, such as math, reading, and science.

Tip To add an interactive element, you can make each door slide open to reveal pictures or words that represent a memorable experience or lesson from the last 100 days.

3. Collector’s Paradise

The best way to celebrate your 100th day at school is by gathering 100 random items! This poster allows your child the freedom to be creative, allowing them to collect a variety of items that reflect their personality, their interests and what they have learned in their first half of school.

The items can range from small toys, buttons, stickers or bottlecaps to leaves and flowers outside. This project is unique because the objects do not have to be identical. Different textures, colours, and shapes will create a poster that’s visually stimulating. The counting and organization of the objects will also reinforce math concepts.

After your child has collected their 100 items, you can have them glue the items onto a poster with a fun design. You can arrange the 100 items in a large number “100”, or you can create a pattern that is meaningful to your child.

Tip Try to collect 100 objects related to your child’s favorite theme or hobby (such as dinosaurs, space, or animals) to personalize the poster.

This project is perfect for children. It engagingly combines math and art. Simply cut out 100 shapes in different colours from construction paper to create this poster. Use circles, squares or triangles to spark your child’s creativity.

This could be a rainbow or geometric pattern, or a picture of their favourite thing. This poster lets your child practice shape recognition and also get creative with colours. Ask your child to sort shapes by type or colour before gluing.

Tip To add a twist, have your child create a simple picture (like a tree or a house) and use the shapes in it to complete the picture. This will help them understand how shapes are combined to create objects.

5. Thumbs up!

Why not make your poster fun and interactive by using thumbprints? This is a great idea for children who like to get messy with ink or paint. You can have your child use non-toxic paint to dip their thumbs or a stamp pad for 100 thumbprints on a large poster.

Your child can then turn the thumbprints into characters by adding faces, arms and legs to each one to create animals, fun designs or little creatures. Your child will have a great opportunity to exercise their creativity as they think of creative ways to transform each thumbprint.

Tip To make it even more fun, have your child decorate each character with accessories such as hats or bows.
