El dia de cien



So the 100th day is a pretty big deal in elementary school. I don't remember anything about a 100th day, but both my kindergarten and first grade classes had big celebrations for it. In kindergarten, the class had a contract with the teacher that if each of them could count from "uno hasta cien" (one to one hundred), the teacher would buy them pizza. Each kid came up to the front of the class to the number chart and counted all the way from one to one hundred, and sure enough, at the end of the day they got their pizza party. A lot of them brought in projects they had made at home out of 100 things. My favorite was a box a boy named Kevin made that had "mi 100 cosas recicables para un mundo mas verde" on it, which translates to "my 100 recyclable things for a greener world". It was a cardboard box with soda cans and paper and plastic forks taped to it. It was pretty cute.
