50th day

As you all know, there are just some days of the school year that we all love to celebrate! One of mine is the 50th day of school! I just love this day!!!

I sent home  a letter and asked my parents to dress their kids up as if they were living in the 50’s and there were some that were  just so stinking cute!!!

To set the stage, I first decorated my classroom! I love the decorations that Oriental Trading has for this theme! 

My tables are covered with a black and white striped table cloth! This comes on a roll! Great value! Then I added rock and roll centerpieces! I love the look!

I hung guitars from the doorway!

Black musical notes and records were hung from the ceiling! 

Of course! I always have a photo booth area!!! I used the same table cloth as the tables for the back drop! Added the rock and roll cut outs and the blow up jukebox to make this photo area absolutely amazing! All of this came from Oriental Trading!!

My kiddos love pencils so of course I had to add the musical note pencils from Oriental Trading!

We searched the room for 50 words!

And to end our day we made root beer floats and milk shakes! Of course we had these fabulous 50s cups from Oriental Trading! 

Once again, our special days were made even more special thanks to Oriental Trading! 

These are my own opinions and I was given the products to review by Oriental Trading! I was not paid for my thoughts or opinions! 

Setting the Stage with Oriental Trading

It is that time of year when our kids are so excited about going out trick or treating! When we have little activities in our classroom for Halloween. We dress up on special days and have parades! 

But it is also that time of year when many of us can not do that because Halloween is not allowed to be celebrated in our classrooms, Does that mean we can not give our kids these experiences? Absolutely not! 

We can still have storybook character days and allow our kids to dress up as their favorite storybook character. We can still have specials days to engage our kids and we can do fall activities instead of Halloween! 

The one place that you can go to get amazing costumes for storybook character day or for that special day that you want to  your kids is Oriental Trading! 

I can not do Halloween in my classroom but I decided to do Madhatter Day instead! 

Here is what I got for my day and the quality was amazing! 

My kids got to dress up as a mad hatter to get their pictures taken! This costume was true to size and so detailed! It was awesome!

I also got a hat for me !!! This certainly helped set the stage to engage my kids! But they sell so many different hats and costumes that you can do this throughout the year not just during the fall!

They also have accessories for your outfits! There was a Harry Potter Festival and thanks to Oriental Trading , we got to add an amazing lightning bolt tattoo to my daughters head to make her a little bit more realistic ! 

Whenever you need an outfit to set the stage to engage in your classroom, go trick or treating, celebrate a special day or for a festival or other event go check out Oriental Trading!!!!! You definitely will not be disappointed!
