I don't remember doing this as a kid, but nowadays, celebrating the 100th day of school is a REALLY big deal for kindergarteners. It has to do with the math curriculum - counting up to 100, counting by 2s, 5s, 10s, learning days of the week, months of the year, seasons, etc.
So all year long the kids look forward to the 100th day of school, and at our school they have to make a 100th day project.
Knowing this would be coming up, Mead (and I) decided to show off the Perler Bead collection that has been accumulating around our house over the past few years.
At the beginning of the year we were already up to about 70 Perler Bead creations, so we "only" had to add about 30 more. Honestly, this is really one of Laine's favorite things to do, so most of the really ornate ones had already been made by her from years past.
The whole family pitched in the make the remaining 30 pieces - it was kind of fun to see the different ideas that everyone came up with, including a Perler Bead Pac-Man that Penny made.
Mead had a great time showing off her 100 Perler Bead pieces, and the rest of us had a good time coming to visit the classroom and see all the other 100 day projects her friends did too.
