100's Song

(sung to The Saints Go Marching In)

Oh we've been here for 100 days,
Oh we've been here for 100 days.
The time has gone so quickly,
Oh we've been here for 100 days.

One Hundred Day Poem

We've come to school for 100 days,
The time has just flown by.
Five months, two seasons and we're half way done,
When another surprise does arrive.
It's the 100th day of school today.
Let's start the day with a grin.
For tomorrow will be 101,
So let the celebration begin.

100 Is A Lot 

By Meish Goldish

100 dogs, 100 cats,
100 heads for 100 hats.
100 women, 100 men,
100's more than 5 or 10.
100 buttons, 100 coats,
100 sails for 100 boats.
100 cookies, 100 cakes
100 kids with bellyaches!
100 shoes, 100 socks,
100 keys for 100 locks.
100 puddles mighty dirty,
100's even more than 30.
100 daughters, 100 sons,
100 franks on 100 buns.
100 trees, 100 plants,
100 picnics, 100 ants!
100 is a lot to count,
100 is a LARGE AMOUNT!
100 kisses, 100 hugs,
100 bats, 100 bugs.
100 bees, 100 birds,
This poem has 100 words!

tune of the "Brady Bunch" theme song.

Here's the story of a kindergarten
That has been in school for 100 days.
We've been working very hard in our classroom.
We've learned in many ways.
On this very special day at Head O' Meadow (name of school)
The whole school joins to help us celebrate.
We've been learning for 100 days so far
And they've been really great!
One hundred days, one hundred days,
We have been in school for one hundred days!

100 Stars

I saw 100 stars last night,
Shining in the sky.
I wondered as I watched them
How did they get so high?

Twinkle bright twinkle long,
Like Mom's goodnight kisses,
They stayed with me the whole night through
As I made 100 wishes!!!

100 Days Song

(to "We've Been Working on the Railroad")

We've been working in our classroom, for 100 days.
We've been working in our classroom, here in the first grade.
Rising early in the morning, bring our books and pencils too.
Every day we come to first grade, we learn something new.

100 days are here, come on give a cheer
100 days are here, Hurray! Hurray!
100 days have come, come on join the fun,
100 days are here, Hurray!

100th day is here, come on give a cheer,
100th day is here, come on give a cheer,
100th day is here, Hooray, Hooray
100th day has come, come on -join the fun,
100th day is here, Hooray!

The child is made of one hundred.
The child has a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking.
A hundred, always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling
of loving
a hundred joys for singing
and understanding
a hundred worlds to discover
a hundred worlds to invent
a hundred worlds to dream.
The child has a hundred languages
(and a hundred hundred hundred more)
but they steal ninety-nine
the school and the culture
separate the head from the body.
They tell the child to think
without hands
to do without head
to listen and not speak
to understand without joy
to love and marvel
only at Easter and Christmas.
They tell the child
to discover the world already there
and of the hundred
they steal ninety-nine.
They tell the child that
work and play
reality and fantasy
science and imagination
sky and earth
reason and dream
are things
that do not belong together.
And thus they tell the child
that the hundred is not there.
The child says:
No way. The hundred is there!

100 Animals
I went to the zoo,
And what did I see ?
100 animals ,
Looking at me .
There were 10 tall giraffes, eating from trees,
Ten silly monkeys, scratching their knees.
Ten sleeping snakes, lying in the sun,
Ten munching elephants, eating peanuts, one by one.
Ten leaping tigers, performing in the shows,
Ten pink flamingos, standing on their toes.
Ten grouchy bears, trying to get some sleep.
Ten happy hippos, in the water deep.
Ten roaring lions, walking two by two,
And ten galloping zebras, all living in the zoo.
