100 days of school--too early to think about? Think again

This is my favorite, favorite activity that goes on the first 100 days of school.  I stole this idea from the internet 10 years ago so I don't know who to give credit to.  If it is your idea please come forward.

Every 10 days of school we make a 10 bead pattern.  I tie a not after each pattern of 10 so that we can count by 10s.  On the 100th day of school we have a colorful 100 day necklace to take home!  Already had 10 days of school?  Don't worry, many years I've started this late and played catch up.  It will be OK.  I get my supplies at Oriental Trading Company.

You didn't get this started at the beginnig of the year?  No problem.  It can be done in one day also. :)

    Amanda,
    I LOVE this idea! I usually do a 100 bead necklace on the 100th Day and end up sending it home in a baggie for the kids to finish on their own b/c it takes too long. This will totally solve my problem! G-E-N-I-U-S!

The teacher has lice :/

You itched your head just reading that didn't you??  Lice does not discriminate.  Anyone can get it.  Even me. So we have A LOT of hair at our house and about a year ago I decided it would be a good idea to grow out my hair to see how long I could go before I couldn't stand it anymore.  It is a year and a half later and I had/have lice.  Nice experiment huh?  So my daughter's Kindergarten teacher is a good friend of mine and the day after Thanksgiving break came the e-mails.  "What a day, I've sent 2 home with lice and another 2 told me that they spent Thanksgiving break bagging up toys and shampooing with special shampoo." and then "5th one just went home."  I raced home at 5:00 to discover that my kinder had a head full and guess who slept in a hotel bed with her over Thanksgiving?  Yes me!!  Time to freak out.  Please don't do this.  It doesn't help whatsover and it will be OK, I promise.   If you are reading...
