Counting 101...I mean, 100.

So tomorrow is the 100th day of school.

I think.

Today I was kind of realizing I probably should have checked with some other teachers to see if they calculated the same day.

...not a good time to question my counting skills -- which, if you know me, you know sometimes are questionable. And people think I joke when I say it's a good thing I teach the simple math. Nope, that'd be a true story, folks.

Well, here's my theory.

1) Either I'll be right, and it'll be just fine or

2) I'll be a little off, get another good story for the list of First Year Teaching Adventures, and we'll just make "decorations" with our 100 items for tomorrow. Yeeeaaah, that's it, decorations. [Flexibility, my friends. Can't teach without boatloads of it.]

I'm kind of hoping for the first one, though, for the sake of saving face. I'm a little afraid to consult my calendar and count again.

It's a good thing we've been practicing counting by 1's to 100 lately...apparently I might need all the help I can get.

I'm off to go a-countin'. Wish me luck.

I totally remember the 100th day of school back in Kindergarten!! I don't remember much, only that it was a big deal... and maybe I brought in 100 of something...?
