Hello Everyone!

I am still not very good at this whole Blogging thing but Liz told me I had to tell about my 50's Volunteer event which was this past Friday. Our teachers put on a Volunteer Breakfast for all of our WONDERFUL volunteers! And part of my job as a part-time Administrative Assistant is to organize and decorate the event...from food, and songs to decorations and gifts the theme this year was The 50's! In past years we've had a Western Dude Ranch, The Disney Gang and  Pirates! Well, from the teachers singing "to know, know, know them is to love, love, love them" and  the Lollipop song it was a hit! I'll try to post the songs in the next couple of days so you can see them! Until then I'll leave you with a few photos....

50th day freebie!

Thought it would be fun to add a freebie from our fifties sock hop packet!  We break up our students into groups of 3 or 4 kids and send them from center to center.  We give each of them a sticker chart and they put a sticker in the corresponding box when they have completed the center.  It is fun for the kids and a good visual for the parents to show what they did with their day.  Hope you enjoy!

50th day Sock Hop

Good afternoon!  We just finished our 50's day sock hop this past week and we had a blast!  We transformed our rooms into a 50's style ice cream parlor and had the children move from center to center.  We enlisted help from moms.  Center time lasted about an hour, then we taught 50's type dances such as strollin', hand jive, and splish-splash!.  We finished the party with root beer floats and a bubble blowing contest.  One of the mom's brought in a pinata!  Not sure who had more fun the teacher or the kids.
