Milestone moment at Seaford Manor: 100 days smarter

Kindergartners at Seaford Manor Elementary School achieved the second milestone of their young academic careers on Feb. 8. After successfully conquering the first day of school in September, they have now reached the 100-day mark.

To celebrate, the youngsters jumped forward about 95 years and dressed up as 100-year-olds. They paraded through the school in their wigs, mustaches, dresses, suits and pearl necklaces as students in the upper graders cheered them on.

The kindergarten hallway was lined with 100-day posters, an annual tradition for the centennial day. Each student made a themed poster at home, featuring 100 similar objects or stickers.

Students rotated among the kindergarten classrooms, with each hosting a different activity. They made 100-day crowns, read books about the 100th day of school and did 100 exercises. On a large paper circle, students stuck on 100 smaller circles, with the finished product resembling a gumball machine.
