Happy 100th Day of School!

This week, many young students in the Houston area will be celebrating the 100th day of school.  Celebrating the 100th day of school gives students(usually in the Kindergarten or 1st grade range) a chance to focus on important educational tasks like counting to 100 in a fun way. 

Note: The 100th day in Houston ISD this school year was originally scheduled to fall on February 4.  However, due to the recent cold weather and resulting cancellations, February 6 is now the 100th day.

The Ballad of Johnny 100 Days is a song about a kid who lived in my neighborhood when I was growing up.  Listen to the song, and I think you will agree that Johnny's unique characteristics make him the perfect spokesperson for the 100th day of school, wherever it is celebrated.
