50's Day!

Pretty Poodle Skirts
 To mark the 50th day of school, we had a 1950s party on November 21st.  Your kiddos came to school looking so fabulous in their fifties attire!  We had lots of poodle skirts, slicked back hair and even a motorcycle jacket.  We all had a lot of fun making crafts, counting to 50 and sharing a hot dog and root beer float snack at the end.  I had some wonderful parents in to help out too :)




Martin looking super cool in his leather jacket!





50s day got a thumbs up from Allen & Maddy


Chris and Martin and Morgan & Lily partnered up in the Roll to 50 game.


     Mr. Darpino manned the 50 second challenge station.  
The kiddos had see how many times they could hula hoop, bunny hop 
and more in 50 seconds.  
We had some pretty good hula hoopers…but Riley was certainly the master hooper!          

Here's Abigail giving it a whirl.

 Addy did a great job too while looking adorable in her pigtails & poodle skirt!


Here are Martin and Timothy working on their bubble kid craft with Mrs. Wonsetler.
Shhh…..I let the kiddos chew gum in school that day!  
We all chewed gum and tried to blow a bubble. 
We made a math graph to see how many people could blow a bubble and how many popped!  
This year we only had one bubble blowing champ ~ Abby!

Mrs. Eastlack was in to help too.  She had the kiddos reading color words and coloring  the records to match.  After that, they got to draw a self portrait of what they looked like on the 50th day of school.

…….just 44 more days until the 100th party!!

November Mystery Readers

I've been a bit behind in adding my pictures to the blog.  The month of November is always such a whirlwind.  The kiddos only had 14 school days last month!  
Without further ado, I present to you our November Mystery Readers…..



Elizabeth's mom came in to read A Turkey for Thanksgiving.  It's a cute story about an animal family that invites Turkey over for Thanksgiving dinner, but Turkey thinks that they want to eat him for Thanksgiving! 


Morgan's mom was our next November Mystery Reader.  She read a story from the hilarious There Was an Old Lady series!  In this story, the old lady swallows a pie first and then numerous other Thanksgiving foods until she gets so big she's used for a floating balloon in the Thanksgiving day parade!  Morgan's mommy also brought delicious homemade cookies to celebrate Morgan's birthday.
