We have had fifty days of learning in kindergarten! We celebrated this special feat all day long by first coming to school dressed as a person from the 1950’s. From rolled up jeans, to poodle skirts, to slicked back hair, the students (and teachers) had a great time dressing up. I drove to school in a 1957 Chevy wagon and parked it in the back yard so that it could be a backdrop for photos. The students were impressed by the size of the steering wheel and the hood ornaments that looked like rocket ships!
After taking our class picture, we headed inside for a morning of 50th Day/Friday Fun. We made pumpkin pies and turkey votive candle holders. For the 50th day, students counted out 50 fruit looks into five groups of ten and strung them on a necklace.
Students also wrote about of what they wished they had 50.
After lunch we had a Sock Hop in the back yard.
There was hula hooping!
Bubble gum bubble blowing!
Frisbee!
Bowling and Paddle Ball!
We ended the day with root beer floats!
Hooray for fifty days! Wait until you see what we do to celebrate our 100th day!!
