Celebrating 100th day of homeschool!

Reaching 100 days of school was no mean feat. In homeschool, this must be a milestone and indeed a day to celebrate. For a beginning homeschool mum like me, 100 days of school are filled with many ups and downs, overflowing with God's guidance and blessings.

To work towards 100 days, Zech filled up a 100 chart, which was part of our homeschool routine.

When we first started out, I wrote the number for him but starting from 67, Zech took over and wrote the number himself. You can see how his handwriting progresses here.

To celebrate our 100th day of school, I did some simple décor (inspired by a friend's blog) and prepared activities in relation to 100. Very fun to be doing all these.

Bought a variety of snacks from the supermarket. Laid out 100 pieces of snacks on the dining table.

Zech, using a big ziplock bag, chose and counted his snacks. In his enthusiasm, he tended to grab a handful instead of one at a time so Mummy had to remind him to take one and count them all.

Nath loves this too of course. He was the quietest throughout as all he needed to do was eat. This was one of the best moments for me.

 

Printed out a hat (similar to 'The cat in the hat') and Zech counted and pasted 100 jewels on the hat.

 

Using do-a-dot markers (Zech's fav), he decorated the number 100.

Then he played 100 types of games. Thought of doing this as my boys have too much energy. Zech was tired by the end of this and was resting on the sofa. A rare sight indeed!

See my little one taking part with Zech? He NEEDS to be included!

Wrote what Zech needed to do on small pieces of paper. For each game, he had to do 10 times. I gave him a 100 chart and he circled the number of times he had done for each game till he reached 100.

Finally, he completed his '100th' worksheet. For this, he struggled quite a bit and had to be guided closely.

A really cool and different way to celebrate school here in Singapore. Love the concept!
