Welcome to the 50's!

Hip! Hip! Hooray! It's the 50th day!!!!

Today marked the 50th day of school and what better way to celebrate than a little 50's fun. We had a Rock n' Roll time!

The students were given the option to dress up in their best 50's clothing if they chose. We brainstormed ideas and looked at pictures of people from the 50's on Tuesday and decided that poodle skirts, high pony tails, rolled up jeans and slicked hair would be FABULOUS!

We started our morning by celebrating making it to the 50th day and all of the hard work that the students have put in to get here! They're 50 days smarter in reading, writing, counting, wondering, sharing and thinking! YAY!

We had many boogie woogie activities planned. We decided a great way to honor the 50th day would be by having a hula hoop contest!  FUN!

We also did a variety of math and reading activities that had to do with the 50th day. We had a bubble gum blowing contest (which we found out is kind of difficult!), learned how to do the sock hop (which is also kind of difficult :)) and wrote about what we wish we could have 50 of. Oh, the possibilities.......

We finished off the day by going to our very own homemade Drive-In movie theatre and enjoying some popcorn with the other First Grade classes.

Happy 50th day of school!!!
