When I started blogging about two years ago I honestly didn't think I would ever get to 100 posts.  Wow!  For some reason I feel a giddy satisfaction with myself. 

I remember when I taught Kindergarten and we did our 100 celebration.  It was the new and vogue thing to do...count each day of school and then have a party when you reach 100.  We spent an entire day doing things 100 times we jumped rope 100 times, counted out 100 jelly beans, and ran in place for 100 seconds.  I always thought it seemed kinda silly to do since most children at that age don't "get it" anyways.  They just don't seem to connect how much time has past and why the day is monumental.  Another example of how we try to make learning cute rather than deep. 

I'm teaching my three year old to count to one hundred.  We started tonight.  She always wants to jump off the potty without waiting for the p** p**s to come out so I started counting past twenty with her to help make our bathroom visits productive.  Now, eventually we'll move on to counting objects but for now we'll stick with using a math lesson as a stalling technique. 

I love that I can teach math, potty-train, and spend time with Pumpkin all at the same time!
