It’s the 120th Day of School! Why are we celebrating the 120th Day of School? Why not! Just kidding, our standards go up to the number 120, so that seemed like the number we should celebrate in First Grade! Plus, it makes things a little different from the 100th Day that most students celebrate in Kindergarten ! Although I do love the 100th Day of School! Here are some ideas for how we celebrated the 12th Day of School!
120th Day of School Homework
Before the big day, students had some homework to do! They each brought a collection of 120 in a sandwich bag and attached this little bag topper. I printed the bag topper on my favorite paper and then we displayed the collections in the hallway.
You can also have your students use ten frames to count out their 120 items!

120th Day of School Stations
We spent most of the day doing stations based around the number 120. Here are a few of the activities that we enjoyed!
This Roll to 120 Dice Game was a lot of fun! Students roll a dice and color that many squares until they reach 120!
This was a super simple cut and paste activity! It reviewed coins and base ten too!
My students loved this fun challenge of writing 120 words! They used the word wall and other words in the classroom!
This puzzle is one of my favorite math station ever! It has also been in our math tubs the past few weeks. I made multiple sets on different colors of paper and it’s a great activity! It is available HERE or HERE.

120th Day of School Snack
I think our special snack was the biggest hit of the day! I just created a sign up genius and asked parents to send in different foods to create a snack mix. Here are some of the items I asked for:
- Pretzels or Pretzel sticks
- Chocolate chips
- Butterscotch chips
- Cheerios
- Marshmallows
- Goldfish
- Chex Cereal
- M&Ms
- Pre-popped popcorn
Students used ten frames to count out their snack pieces. This was a good small group activity so I could help!
All of these activities and more are available inside of 120 Days of School Print and Go Activities.
