Maude Saunders students celebrated the 100^th day of school by participating in a variety of activities related to the number 100. We added, subtracted, multiplied, divided, counted, stacked, sorted, and even ate, in a way that celebrated  the number 100.  One of our favorite activities was dressing up like we think we will look when we are 100 years old.
