Happy 100th day of school!!!
What? You didnt know?
It's a national holiday.
The 100th day of school is a big hoopla that everyone commemorates.
And it's such a big deal in kindergarten and first grade.

When I found out that the 100th day of school was today, my first thought was FML.
Since I thought that the 100th day of school already passed a WHILEEEEEEEEEEEEe ago, I was extremely disappointed that it was just now occurring.

Blah.
So in honor of the 100th day, I made my kids stay quiet for 100 minutes.
They only lasted for half hour.
Every time someone would breathe I would add ten minutes.
It was quite entertaining for me. They did last more than thirty minutes, but I wanted to prolong it as much as possible.
And also in honor of it, I showed them my hair. I wear hijab , and they've always asked to see my hair, and I was like "What the heck! It's the hundredth day of school, WHY NOT!?"
But in reality, that's not how it happened. My hair was sticking out in every possible ways. And about ten of my first graders kept saying "Ahem Ahem" and pointing at my head. And it got to a point when I was like, you know what, I gotta fix it. So I had one student guard the door, as I unpinned my hijab, the room was so silent you could hear a pin drop. And the boys were all covering their eyes, but peeking as well. And when I did it, you heard one sharp intake of breath from the entire class, and then a "Wow". And then the class burst out in an uproarious applause. I ended it with a bow and a curtsy and a "You're far too kind."
Kids are good ego boosters.
I digress though.
Back to the 100th day of school. Another activity that I asked them to do was draw a picture of what they think they would look like when they were 100 years old and write about what they will be doing. And I have to say, some of them were incredibly amusing that I had to share it with you all:
When I am hurundred yeards old I will have grand chidren and neces and nefews and it will be so fun. I will not be alive.
I would die it will be sad. I don't want to die I won't to be in peridice with Jehovah and I love Jehovah is cool, nice, sweet, and powerful. you can make a house, eat the animals will be nice to you, and you will be alive ferever but not the animals.
If I was one hondred I would be old with a cane and crumbly skin and my theeth would fall out and my hair will be gray and I might be in a wheel chair living at a nursing home with other old people.
This is what I think I would look like when I am 100 yers old. And I think I am going to be so, so, so, so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so,so so, so, SMART. And I will know everyone that is 100 will die.
If I was 100 year old I will rasle and be a army. And go to collge to play football and play in the Olanpix.
And last but not least,
When am a-hundred years old I would need to sit in a wheel-chair I would be very old that I would not know how to do KARATA forever and not knwo how to draw or paint I would live in Michigan or Vergea but I will not live in a broken house because they got blown down.
So to you, I say, Happy 100th Day!
And may the next 82 days of school go a helluva lot faster than the last 100 days!!! InshaAllah and AMEEN!

I LOVE children's writing! They can contradict themselves in a single sentence but it makes total sense to them, and when they don't know words they go with what they do know- crumbly skin!!!!! I am so laughing! Thank you for sharing this, and the spellings!
And Amen Sister to the next 82!
im laughing so hard
kids are so cute
I think I would make this a yearly tradition and save them for laughs when you are older:-)
Awwwww!
Loved this post!
Smiling from ear to ear!
Thank you!
Margie :)
