In fact, until recently, I had no idea it was important. It certainly wasn't when I was in school. But it's huge up here in the Northeast. Is it where you are? I understand that elementary school classes can spend a week on the celebrations.
And today the NYTimes Learning Network blog, my favorite new discovery (and how did I not know about it before??), has 100 activities for the 100th day, including some really fun ones like a list of 100 things you've learned or 100 things you've done in your life or 100-day activity list or a poem with 100 words or a collage of 100 faces . . . .
. . . if we ever get to the 100th day!
