Happy Day 100! The kids and I have been looking forward to this day for some time now, so I figured I'd better do something special today. However, I didn't really want to use up a lot of time (and energy) with a party, so I had an idea. Today was the First Annual 100th Day M&M Giveaway!!
Prior to school time, I counted out 100 M&M's and put them in a bowl. For every good thing the kids did during school, they received an M&M. And if I pulled a green one out of the bowl, that child received a second M&M. Whaddya know? We accomplished 100 great things today! They received their rewards for a variety of excellent things: correct answers on a vocab quiz, handwriting, copywork, building words, math papers, phonics, participation in a history discussion, and on and on the list goes.
The First Annual 100th Day M&M Giveaway was a huge success! Someone remind me to do it again next year!
Great idea! I bet they had a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteMaybe next year I will do much better at keeping up with my days so I can celebrate too, but for now... celebrating the day I actually do the "real thing" instead of the unschool method. LOL!
