wasnt able to go to school. On Monday, she felt better and took her 100

school and she thought she was missing a button, but then realized there
was one on her sweater.

Introduce the book by asking the students what day it is.

Read book aloud to the students.
Have the whole class count to 101 as a whole.
Then, pass out a worksheet called In 100 seconds. The students are given sentences on the worksheet and
they have to write in the number that they can do in 100 seconds in the blanks. (ex: How many jumping jacks
they can do in 100 seconds).
Then, the class will raise their hands and share their ideas from the worksheet.
Have the students group their 100 items into groups of 10 and count to make sure there is 100.
Each student who is done counting can raise their hand and have the teacher check their counting, walk up to
the large bowl and put their part of the mix into the bowl. Do this until each student has put all of their
contributions into the bowl.
After this, make sure the students sit quietly back down and the quietest table gets to go up and get some of the
mix first.
Next, they will watch 101 Dalmatians while eating their snack.
After the movie is over, clean up the mess.
Before they go home, give the students a certificate with a cute quote. (ex: I am 100 days smarter).

V. Assessment: (How you will know your students learned?)

Pre-Assessment: Bringing in their 100 objects.
Post-Assessment: Counting their groups of 10 to equal 100.

VI. Rationale: (Explain your rationale for the lesson design 500 words or less.)
We came up with this lesson plan because we felt it was an effective way for the students to learn how to
count while also having fun. Its important for students to be having fun while learning because it makes it
easier for them to remember since they will remember what they did while counting. We designed the
breaking down into groups of 10 because it showed a different way that they could count to 100. The book
we chose was a good book to use because it also showed them sharing. Watching 101 Dalmatians was a way
for them to give a break from all of the counting and a reward.
