On the first day of kindergarten in September, Ms. Bradley says, "Each day of school I will add a jellybean to this jar. When there are 100 jellybeans . . . we'll have a party to celebrate 100 days of kindergarten." What will Henry and his classmates do until the big day? In October, they share special things at show-and-tell. In November, they remember what they are thankful for. December brings a day to play in the snow, and January a trip to the library. Before they know it, the 100th day arrives!
