Counting to 100. Leticia walked into the kitchen and washed her hands for dinner. What have you been up to? Her mother asked. I've been counting. I need to know what I have 100 of. Leticia said.

数到一百。 莱蒂西亚走进厨房，洗手准备吃晚饭。 你刚才在忙什么呀？ 妈妈问她。 我刚才在数数呢。 我得找出我有什么东西刚好是一百件。 莱蒂西亚说。

I have 119 stickers, 106 pennies, but only 74 crayons. Why do you need 100 things? Her mother asked. Tuesday is the 100th day of school, Latisha said. As a 100th day project, everyone needs to bring 100 of something.

我有119张贴纸、106枚便士，可蜡笔只有74支。 你为什么要找一百件东西呀？ 妈妈问道。 周二就是开学第一百天啦，莱蒂西亚说。 作为百日项目的作业，每个同学都要带一百件同类型的东西来。

I can help you with your project," her mother said. But first we need to eat dinner. Get your brother and tell him it's time to eat.

“我可以帮你完成这个作业哦。”妈妈说。 不过我们得先吃晚饭。 去叫你弟弟，告诉他该吃饭啦。

One hundred of something. After dinner, Leticia showed her family a large piece of paper. There were one hundred squares marked on the paper grid. I have to glue one hundred objects into those one hundred squares, Leticia said. That should be easy, her brother said. Use your pennies. My teacher wants our projects to be creative, Leticia said.

一百件同类型的东西。 吃完晚饭，莱蒂西亚给家人看了一大张纸。 纸上的网格里刚好画了一百个小方格。 “我得把一百件东西分别粘到这一百个方格里。”莱蒂西亚说。 “这应该很简单呀。”弟弟说。 用你的便士就行啦。 “老师希望我们的作业要有创意。”莱蒂西亚说。

Let's brainstorm. Do you read in school? Her mother asked. We read a new book every day. I like books, Leticia said.

“我们一起来头脑风暴吧。你在学校会读书吗？”妈妈问。 “我们每天都读一本新书，我可喜欢书啦。”莱蒂西亚说。
