It’s that special day already! Time to celebrate 50 days of kindergarten! We started the day dressed up as Greasers and Pink Ladies and headed to the backyard for a photo shoot with a 1955 Chevy Bel Air.

It took a lot of shaking and dancing to make this special treat! (Notice the oven mitts…..those bags of ice and salt were COLD!)

Students played the classic 1950’s games of Jacks and Pick Up Sticks. They also wrote about an item of which they wish they had 50…

Throughout the day I had 50’s music playing in the background.  Look what happened as we were transitioning from Friday Fun centers to Bat Notebooks:

What I love most about this video is that this little dance party was completely spontaneous! So sweet!

We ended the day with a Sock Hop under the Pavilion where students hula hooped, played with Frisbees, bowled, and created their own Paddle Ball game.
