50 Days Celebration

Yesterday, we celebrated a different kind of milestone for our kindergarten year - 50 days in school. You read correctly, we have completed 50 days in kindergarten. I felt a mini celebration was in order, this is some of what we did.

We danced to some music...J (in her socks) and

Kaleb. We danced to our new Jackson Pollock song which ties into our artist study (which will be posted later).

J practiced her tallies by making 50 tally marks.

J practiced counting to 50 by 5's, 10's, and by 2's.

J also wrote her numbers to 50, all by herself. We have been practicing counting to 100 every day using 5's, 10's and 1's. But this time, she wrote her numbers without having me to repeat them or tell her what number was what. I am so proud.

Then, to top off the celebration, we had ice cream sodas for dessert while watching Planet 51 (a fifties type of kid movie). Our ice cream sodas were orange soda and vanilla ice cream.

Kaleb enjoyed the ice cream soda as well. Not too bad of a 50's day celebration. 50 days down and how many more to go?   (answer: 130 more days to go, yay!) The printable for the 50's math practice came from Flying Into First's freebie.
