Why We Celebrate the 100th Day

- Grasp Big Numbers: Counting to 100 and seeing collections of 100 items helps children understand the concept of larger numbers.
- See Learning in Action: The 100th day is a visual reminder of how much they've learned since the year began.
- Have Fun with Learning: Who doesn't love a good party? Making learning fun helps kids stay engaged and excited about school.
