Celebrate the 50th Day of School

As you build up to the 100th day, why not celebrate the 50th day of school? The number 50 is an important building block for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders as they increase their number sense. I calculated our 50th day to be November 2nd, but it will vary of course.

Here are some possible math and literacy activities to celebrate the 50th day:

• Students write about what they’ll be doing when they’re 50 years old
• Students can collect 50 autographs in their classroom and around the school
• As a class, brainstorm to see if you can name all 50 states
• Show what 50 items looks like with math manipulatives or small snacks
• Do different actions, such as clapping your hands 50 times

Many of these ideas and more are available in this 50th Day of School resource:

Have a fantastic 50th day!
