The 50th Day of school is FAST approaching!
We are currently on our mini Fall Break and I wanted to use this time to put together a few fun Fifties Games, not to mention...clean out my closet, re-organize my bathroom and clean up my desk. Uhhh, we'll see how that goes... And BTW we are officially on the 100 day countdown to the mister coming home!! 80 days DOWN!
Thank you, again, for all of your sweet messages and prayers, he is doing well.

| OK, I HAD to break down and finally order one of these. The past several years of putting something together has gotten old so I bit the bullet and ordered this costume from Glor's Store on ebay. $75 later, it is mine but the quality is amazing and she makes them in many colors and plenty of sizes! I also ordered some white Keds but there are plenty of saddleshoes out there if you're feeling crazy!  compare and contrast life in the 50"s and life today.  Although, Little Golden Books were first published in the 40's, you can find plenty that depict life in the 50's.    On the 50th Day of School, we all wear 50's clothes, have our picture taken in front of the "jukebox" holding a (gasp!)real live vinyl album!   We transform the classroom into a "Soda Shop", play 50's music, drink sodas from a glass bottle and have ice cream floats! Last year, I had a darling little girl with allergies to dairy and nuts so we had Jello sundaes instead!    We had Fifties Fun Centers with Mr. Potato Heads, Slinkies, Charlie Brown coloring pages, Tinker Toys, Lincoln Logs and Silly Putty-all toys that children played with in the 50's! This year, I am adding a 50's Graph from Deanna Jump and a few games that I have put together. It is a super fun day and good way to teach the children about the life their grandparents (or great grandparents!) lived. Rock and Roll is Here to Stay, We Had Fun on Fifties Day! |

I just added this label that I cut out and attached to a Crystal Light container with Mod Podge and scrapbook paper for the pattern pieces.

This looks like so much fun! We usually do a 50's day when there are 50 days left of kindergarten!
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with '50's Day! It looks like the little ones are having a Blast from the Past for sure. It's a shame you can't have a big old '50's car parked in front of school for kids to sit in - now THAT would be an experience!
ReplyDeleteYour classroom, activities, and costume look amazing! Thanks for sharing the patterning activity. Our celebration is next week--yippee!

Is it better to purchase a cruiser from a merchant or from a person? You can get a decent one at a decent cost from an individual in case you're fortunate. Payday Loans San-diego
