50th Day of School

On Wednesday we celebrated the 50th day of school at Garvy. It was a fun way to mark our 1/2 way to 100 celebration. We dressed similar to the way people did in the 50's, had a Sock Hop and hula hooped in the gym, did the Hand Jive dance, patterning with pink and black, used a scale to weigh our collections of 50 objects, everyone tried to blow a bubble with gum, and the kids learned to differentiate between then and now. They didn't recognize pictures of Elvis Presley, but they did know Justin Bieber and Salena Gomez! Miss Gilbert even brought in record to show the class! Ideas for this event came from other teacher websites/blogs via my newest favorite source of inspiration Pinterest.
