Retelling Anchor Charts

This week we used anchor charts like these to help us retell the story after we read it. This is another tool (along with the retelling rope) to help the kids as they use their comprehension skills to retell the story.

50th Day Fun Continued...

We learned about records and record players and then we showed off our dance moves at a sock hop.

Hula hooping is not easy to do, especially for the teacher!

We pulled out the original Dubble Bubble bubble gum and counted how many of us could blow a bubble.  2 of us did it (1 was the teacher) and 19 were "so close"!

We made ourselves in the 1950's and for this, everyone could blow a bubble!

Then we enjoyed rotating through some stations:  Bowling, making creations with 50 Legos, root beer floats, graphing our bubble blowing results and creating a venn diagram comparing the 1950's to 2014.

We ended our day at the Drive In Theater watching the classic Casey Jones Show!

Celebrating the 50th Day of Kindergarten

We made 50th day of school books and read them to our second grade buddies.
