The pre-K students at Little Sprouts Preschool in New Hyde Park recently reached the milestone of 100 days in school.
They had been counting to 100 on a special calendar since school began in September. Children counted various collections of 100 items, put together a bulletin board with 100 stickers, did 100 exercises, participated in a scavenger hunt to find 100 coins, painted pictures with 100 dots, strung necklaces with 100 pieces of cereal, read a story about 100 snowmen, and ate a specially-themed snack.
The students are now counting down to the last day of school, when they will be ready for kindergarten.
