My students considered what the older people in their families were like and we discussed some features of the elderly. They then imagined what their lives would be like at 100. What would they look like, how would they feel, what jobs did they have, did they marry, do they have grandkids...
In 2nd grade the 100th day isn't as big as in K or 1st but I love doing this writing project every year and I hope it becomes one of their treasures.
So no one came dressed as a senior citizen today on our 100th day of school - waaaaaa! :(
But - I do have some excellent self portraits of what my kiddos expect to look like when they turn 100! They are adorable, aren't they? I love this project every year!
On the back they wrote about what their life is like now that they're 100, what their career was, their hobbies, pets and what their family looks like. They also wrote about where they would be living and the best part of their life. These are so awesome - I hope the kids hang on to these until they're 100!
