Happy 50th Day of School!

What a fun day we had yesterday! Here are some cute pics of our T-Birds and Pink Ladies enjoying our math 50th day centers and then the sock hop at the end of the day. THANK YOU to the parent helpers!

Everyone looked so cute all dressed for a sock hop!

We started our day with of course counting to 50 by ones, fives and tens! It also was a “bundle” day and we moved our straw counters over to the 10s column and sang our bundle song!

In Art, Mrs. Detrich switched around her lesson so we didn’t get paint on our clothes! Thank you! Then right after snack and recess, we had our 50th day math center activities. The activities included counting 50 cotton balls and gluing them to a poodle, playing race to fifty, tracing our numbers to fifty and doing a patterning activity.

In the afternoon, we talked about the differences between the 1950s and today. Wait – no iPhones? No apps? And children went home for lunch? No seat belts in cars? And then to end our day with a “sock hop” where we had a hula hoop contest, bowling practice and made a “record” craft. Hold on, does anyone even know what a record is? LOL!

Well now it’s on to the countdown till the 100th day of school.  Ms. Purdin’s favorite kindergarten holiday. Yes, I know the date already (right before February vacation.) We again will have lots of fun learning activities and will need parent helpers then too!

Ok, no more stalling – it’s time for me to work on report cards!

Have a great weekend!
