Happy 50th day of school! I’m not sure if the kids were more excited or if the teachers were!
We celebrated by having a 1950s themed day. Students dressed up like kids from the 50s. We had greasers, preppies, ponytails, rolled up jeans and pink ladies. The class learned about how school was in the past compared to now. We looked at the cars, houses, televisions, record players and the way people dressed. The kids were fascinated by the small TVs and that they were in black and white!
We started our morning by rotating through 50s themed math centres.
In the afternoon we timed ourselves. How many bunny hops, twists, bubbles, and hula hoops could we do in 50 seconds.
We also invited the other 3 multiage 1/2 classrooms to join us for a sock hop in the community room. The kids loved dancing with each other, playing free dance, doing the bunny hop and trying ice cream floats.
Thank you to our amazing parent volunteer that came dressed up and ready to help. We had a wonderful day moving and grooving to 50’s music and celebrating together!
