100 Days of Second Grade (so far)

Holy Family celebrated the 100th Day of School on Friday. The children in grades K-3 were invited to make a project using 100 of anything. If they chose to make something, they could bring it for display in the 100 Museum down in the multipurpose room.



Katie's project was "100 Origami Cups." Katie and Mommy folded together at the table, and after about an hour and a half, we had 100 cups.



Here are a few of the other projects on display. A necklace for a bear made out of 100 colored paperclips, something made out of 100 Legos, a football made out of 100 candies, 100 stickers on a paper, a valentine made out of 100 pieces of pasta...



A couple of children told Katie that Origami cups are not interesting and she should have made cranes. Cranes would have taken us at least four times as long to make, and Katie's origami skills are really at the "cup" level right now. We might have been able to make hats, but not cranes. But Katie and I agreed that her project was really cool -- big and colorful, and did a good job of showing how many 100 is. We decided it was a successful project.

Grandma agrees, the origami cups were wonderful. Hooray for Katie and Mommy to make 100! That's a big number. I enjoyed all the project pictures.
