100th Day

Today was the 100th Day of School. The girls' assignment was to display 100 things in a creative way.

We came up with Emma's pretty quickly. We cut out a heart and glued 100 candy hearts onto it. She did all the work and was so proud!

Olivia's was a bit of a challenge. Everything I suggested was turned down. I came up with froot loops on a string, popcorn on a string, we had crazy sticks and she started to put them together in a star shape but said she didn't like it. I suggested using 100 Cheerios to make a picture...nothing was appealing to her. She was getting a little sad too. I said "we have a few days, we'll think of something great" She said "please don't think of anything with food though"...ok then! I asked her what her favorite thing was and she came up with butterflies. I came up with a mobile. We took a hangar, tied 10 pieces of ribbon on it, then I found a butterfly template online and printed it. Olivia colored all 100 butterflies and used scrapbook picture tape to attach each one to the ribbons...10 on each ribbon. She was so excited through the whole process. She kept saying "This is going to be the BEST one Mom!" When she finished she had a great big smile on her face...she gave me a big hug and said "That was such a great idea Mom...thank you for thinking of it". This is her this morning before school...she even wore her butterfly dress.

The girls said everyone loved their projects. The 100th Day of School was a success!
