100th day of school activities are a natural fit for Montessori schools and homeschools. With Montessori’s emphasis on concrete introductions to the decimal system, including activities such as the hundred board, the 100th day of school is a perfect time to reinforce Montessori math concepts.
Many schools and homeschools reach 100 days in late January or early February. Even if you’ve already passed 100 days, you can still do 100th day activities to observe the day you reached 100 days of school for this school year.
Here are some ideas from Montessori schools and Montessori bloggers for celebrating 100 days of school.

Thanks … I think it’s especially fun that the 100th day of school typically happens when it’s appropriate to put out Valentine’s Day activities as well. 🙂
A great collection of ideas (as usual) 🙂
