Leopold celebrates 100th day of school

Leopold Elementary School students celebrated their 100th day of school Feb. 5 with activities involving the number 100. One of the activities included dressing up as either a 100-year-old grandma or grandpa.

Kindergartners created posters with 100 items of their choosing and displayed them in the hallway. They also created a book involving ways to use the number 100 (i.e., a food item of which a person could eat 100.)

First-graders took a little trip around the school to see just how far 100 steps could get them. And they also decided what all they could purchase with $100. Second-graders finished a color-by-number page that involved 100 numbers and also completed a 100-piece puzzle.

Students in the third grade wrote about what they would be doing when they were 100 years old, and they also drew a picture that creatively included the number 100 in the drawing.

Fourth-graders wrote an acrostic poem about the 100 days of memories. They also used 100 Hershey's Kisses for a math lesson.

Fifth-grade students faced a 100-second challenge, which involved 10 different challenges. They had 10 seconds to complete each challenge. And the sixth-grade classroom made a time capsule to celebrate the 100th day.

First-grade teacher Cindy Wiseman said her favorite part of the 100th day celebration was "seeing how much the kids enjoyed dressing up."
