100th Day of School Matching Binder

About this resource

EVERYTHING INSIDE — 19 pages, 113 type-in fields

• A 100th Day Celebration Request board: three request/identify slots (I want, I see, Show me) and a seven-picture match — with its own 7 cut-apart cards on the same sheet
• A Wear It or Not board: two sort slots and a three-picture and a four-picture grid on the same seven 100th Day things, split by what each picture shows — with its own 7 cut-apart cards on the same sheet
• Both boards twice: a full-color set for a laminated binder and a black-and-white ink-saver set for the photocopier
• 21 cut-apart picture cards in all, counting the color set and the home page once
• A weekly tracker: 8 board jobs down, Monday to Friday across, one letter per cell (no help / pointed once / said the words / not run), a "no help" count per row and a week total
• A binder organizer: a front cover, a spine strip and 9 divider tabs (3 of them blank)
• A home version: the same seven-word bank, split into its two sort groups, for the kitchen table, with a seven-day "we did it" row
• A family update with a team hand-off block for the next adult who runs the binder
• A phrase bank: 24 lines in 6 groups (spoken lines for running the boards, written starters for the note afterward)
• A filled example — an invented student, one week, every count re-counted from its own row
• An answer key listing every board, the cards it takes and what correct looks like, plus the full word list (classroom set and home set)
• Start Here, a contents page with page thumbnails, and a "what's next" back page

A 100th Day of School vocabulary binder built on one seven-word bank (hundred points symbol, trophy, crown, first place medal, sports medal, confetti ball, party popper) run through two different boards — naming and requesting any of the seven at the first board, then sorting the same seven by whether the picture shows something worn on the body at the second, each with its own tracker row. Most matching binders stop at the board; this one adds the tracker, the family update and the phrase bank behind it, so a day of celebration matching turns into counts a case manager can bring to a meeting.

The Boards

• 100th Day Celebration Request (page 6 in color, page 7 in ink-saver) — the board stays whole above a cut line; the card band below cuts apart. Three request/identify slots (I want, I see, Show me), and a seven-picture match (hundred points symbol, trophy, crown, first place medal, sports medal, confetti ball, party popper): the child matches the identical card onto its picture.
• Wear It or Not (page 9 in color, page 10 in ink-saver) — two sort slots ("You wear it," "You do not wear it") and a three-picture and a four-picture grid on the same seven things, so the exact seven words appear on both boards (see WHY "WEAR IT OR NOT" IS A PICTURE SPLIT, below).

The Words

• 100th Day request cards (7): hundred points symbol, trophy, crown, first place medal, sports medal, confetti ball, party popper
• Wearable cards (3): crown, first place medal, sports medal
• Not-wearable cards (4): hundred points symbol, trophy, confetti ball, party popper
• Home page — wearable cards (3) and not-wearable cards (4): the same seven words, split the same way

Every picture was chosen to be named in one word by a young child, in color AND in the black-and-white set. This binder is built around the 100th Day of School celebration specifically — the hundred points symbol is the "100" mark many classrooms use for the day itself, and the trophy, crown, medals, confetti ball and party popper are the things that show up at a small classroom celebration of it. It does not say what any real school includes in its own 100th-day event.

WHY "WEAR IT OR NOT" IS A PICTURE SPLIT, NOT A RULE ABOUT EVERY REAL TROPHY, CROWN OR MEDAL

The second board sorts by what each PICTURE shows, not by a rule about every real trophy, crown or medal everywhere: the crown, first place medal and sports medal are all drawn to be worn on the body, in both picture sets; the hundred points symbol, trophy, confetti ball and party popper show none of that — a flat mark, a cup held or displayed, a paper ball, a horn. This board is only a claim about what these seven pictures show, the same kind of checkable, picture-only split this collection's other sort boards (sit-or-lie-on-it-or-not, on-the-road-or-not, has-fins-or-not) already use.

What This Is, And What It Is Not

It is a fillable PDF: type into the tracker, the organizer, the home page and the family update, or print and use a pen. The board pages print on cardstock or plain paper; the card band cuts off the bottom and the board stays whole. It works offline with no account or subscription. It is NOT an editable online slideshow or word-processor document, and it is not a test of anything.

It carries no prompt hierarchy, fading schedule or mastery rule, and it does not decide what a count means for a student or when a board is done with. The wear-it sort is a claim about what each picture shows, not a rule about every real trophy, crown or medal anywhere. The tracker counts which boards were done and what help was given, and nothing else.

Who This Is For

Special education teachers and paraprofessionals running functional-vocabulary or naming practice with early, pre-reading or low-verbal students around the 100th Day of School, case managers who need that practice to show up as data, and the families who get the home page.
