For most schools operating on the American school schedule, the 100th day falls sometime in January. Our school is a bit unique in that we schedule our school year primarily around the furlough schedules of the missionary families. This year we began early since our family needs to go to a meeting in America in late April. It is hard to believe that we have already completed over half of our school days in our second year of teaching in Uganda!
Today we celebrated our 100th day of school with many different activities. We all did 100 jumping jacks, took 100 steps, did a total of 100 push-ups together, and then divided up 100 sweeties (candies) among the students. 
We also had fun counting up to 100 cents with American coins and counting by 100s with Ugandan shillings. The 100 shilling coin is the lowest coin that is commonly used in circulation. You can see the current exchange rate written on the blackboard in the first photo. Here is Ezra with a 100 shilling coin. 
We also did some creative activities like building towers with 100 toothpicks and glue. 
And trying to string 100 beads...
It was a fun day of school! I am so thankful to be able to teach this awesome group of kids and thankful that God has given us 100 days of learning about His world.
