Onomatopoeia I HAVE / WHO HAS
As an ESL teacher, I have fallen in love with I have/who has games! They are a great way to have the students engaged while practicing their reading, speaking, and listening skills.
This particular I have/who has game is dedicated to Onomatopoeia. The students are given a description of a sound, such as, "Who has the Onomatopoeia sound that you make when you are cold?" Another student will then respond, "I have BRRRR!"
The students will enjoy making the silly sounds, while becoming familiar

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!

Kid Writing Crowns Mini Cheat Sheet
Kid Writing advocates the use of "Kid Crowns" (visual aids to help children remember sight words, spelling patterns, consonant blends, digraphs, etc.), but I found actual crowns are disruptive and time consuming. I hang large posters in my room as each crown is introduced. This mini version lists common crowns on 1 small page (1/3 of an 8 1/2" x 10" piece of printer paper). It can be placed in students' writing folders.
