One Hundred Days Smarter

February 12th marked the 100th day of school. The kindergarteners have been working on their 100s Day collections all year. Each child collects 100 of something, like pictures, stickers, dinosaurs, etc. In the fall, Myles started collecting pine cones, but we only made a couple trips into the woods to gather some before it snowed. A couple weeks before the deadline, we realized that he'd never get enough pine cones since there was three feet of snow on the ground.
Myles decided to collect yarn instead. He got 100 pieces of yarn from me, Faye, Grandma LaG, and my friend Annie (one of her yarns was recycled sari silk that came from India). I knitted all the pieces into a mini scarf for his display, and this is what he ended up with:

Kids brought their collections to school the week before 100s day, and that evening the collections were open for public viewing. Our whole family went and looked at all the displays in all four classrooms before going to the spaghetti dinner in the elementary cafeteria. We had a lot of fun helping Myles celebrate being 100 days smarter.
