If I had $100... Creative Writing Prompt
Lovely Lauren says,
You've got to grab this great writing prompt for the 100th day of school! To celebrate all things 100, I thought giving your students $100 dollars would suffice! :)
Brainstorm with children what they would do with $100 dollars and just see what kind of creative responses you get!
Your kids will have to chance to have their face on a $100 bill! They could draw themselves, or you can take a picture of them and attach it for some added pizzaz!
