How Many Licks Does It Take To Get To The Center Of The Tootsie Pop?

Yes,  we actually had lollipops.  It was all in the name of science. Kids were tallying every lick to see how many licks it would take.  We actually ran out of time but kids were up in the 200 lick range... I guess we will never know. 

Building a 100 Link Chain

 Each team had to build a chain using 

10 different colors. Each section of the chain had to have 10 links made out of paper.Team members took turns running to the table to get 10 strips of paper.  Communication was key since each team could only have 10 of each color.  The groups did a great job working together to build their chain.  We are now using 80 links from one chain to count down how many days are left of First Grade.

100 Day Olympics

We started the 100th day with 4 teams competing.  Team Germany, Japan, China, and France. The first event was the cup building. Team France built the highest tower in the shortest amount of time.  Every one did a great job working together as a team. 

 

 

Next, we had a Math Minute...

while 5 minutes.  

Each team got points for every math

 problem they answered correctly. 

Although we did not finish the third event, it did require team work.  The idea was to build a sculpture with 100 mini marshmallows.  It turned out too hard to get it to stay together without falling.
