Today Mrs Heldebrandt and her 3rd graders cracked a math escape room to catch a sneaky theif who stole 100 treats, made predictions about what a blow pop will look like after 100 licks, and experimented with droppers to see what 100 drops of water looks like in a cup. We wrapped up the day by aging ourselves to 100 years old with a fun filter and writing an autobiography of ourselves after living 100 amazing years.
