Thanksgiving!

Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving by having a delicious feast in our classroom.  We each set the table, practiced our table manners and enjoyed sharing family traditions and what we were thankful for.  It was a moment to remember!

50th Day Celebration!

I must admit, I was a little nervous about having a 50th Day of School Celebration because I wasn’t sure if the kids would grasp the concept.  I should’ve known better!   These kids amaze me everyday!October 004

Our class is so lucky to have a real-life artifact from the 50s, Mrs. Robinson!  (I will be in the doghouse if she ever reads this!) October 005

She brought in some of her records and albums and explained how a record player works.  October 006 October 007

The kids had as much fun as Mrs. Robinson did, dancing!

In the fine motor center, we covered a poodle with 50 pieces of frosted cereal.

We put together a 50 piece puzzle.October 016

After seeing a slideshow, on comparing the 50s to the present, and Mrs. Robinson explaining what a telephone “party line” was (that was a new one for me), she read a few Dick and Jane stories.

October 017  We played “Roll to 50” and made 50 tally marks in the math center. October 020

We ended our day by completing the science experiment “Will ice cream sink or float in a coke float?” (We used orange drink instead of coke.)October 021

We made our predictions, drew them and then found out that the ice cream will float!October 022 October 023

Yum! Yum!October 024

All of our wonderful kindergarten teachers!  Ravenel is such a great place to work!
