Happy 50th Day of School!

The 50^th day looked so far away not very long ago and now it has come and gone! Thank you for supporting your child in collecting 50 things!

We had our own O’ Canada this morning and the children sang out with gusto! So great to hear!! We also talked about the moment of reflection and decided to think about our bus load of Grade 1-8’s and teachers, and silently wished them safety on their trip to the ROM.

Karmin did a good job of leading us through calendar. We counted by 1’s. 5’s and 10’s to 50!

We “paraded” our collections down the hall to show Madame V. and Mrs. Burke who were happy to see what we had brought! Then we went to the gym where we made lines with each of  our items. The children knew before we even started that Sophia would have the longest line! 

The 4 PS children were not as long as Sophia's collection!

Even when Mrs. Wilks joined the line, they still didn't reach the end of those 50 Beanie Babies!

                             

Trying out the "twist"

Experimenting with hula hoops

We practiced hula hoop-ing and the twist and listened to "Twist and Shout" in the gym!The children enjoyed a Rice Krispie treat at morning snack. Our story today was 50 Below Zero by Robert Munsch. They did a great job of filling in the words when I paused in the story!

Following sharing by Seth, Samuel and Gunner I showed the children some pictures of 1950's things and showed them a record I had brought from home - which they thought was a really large CD:) Mrs. Batchelor had provided us with some old hats to look at and memories of my mother wearing such "things" came flooding back! We made rock 'n roll records which you will see on the bulletin board outside the classroom. We had a great day! Have an awesome evening!

More Pictures!

Karmin was awesome with the hula hoop!
