Fifties Rock n' Roll Fun and A Sad Good-Bye

This post will be more fun if you click on the video and listen to the music.

 

 

We celebrated fifty days of school this week. The kids were amazing today. Our fifties dress-up day was too much fun. Even the other grades got involved and came dolled up in their best fifties outfits. Here are a few of my stylish girls in their poodle skirts and boys in their greaser outfits.

 

We started the morning off with a little greater than / less than 50 fun. The students sorted a pile of numbers into two different groups - numbers less than 50 and numbers greater than 50.

 

Next we discussed how kids in the fifties were the same and different from kids nowadays. We added our ideas to our "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" bulletin board display.

 

 

After recess, we learned how to make root beer floats.

 

 

After writing out the recipe, we enjoyed our floats.

 

 

 

 

The verdict is........

 

We LOVE root beer floats!

 

Even though our day was jammed packed with fifties activities, we still managed to fit in our spelling quiz and even a quick trip down to the public library.

 

To end the day, the entire school met in the gym for a fun-filled rock n' roll sock hop where we were able to showcase some of our amazing dance moves!

 

Amoung all of our fifties fun, there was also a bit of sadness. Today was Mrs. Sandhu's last day with us. I feel like the luckiest teacher in the world to have been able to work with Mrs. Sandhu for the past year. We will all miss her but I know that she will be back to come and visit us and share her new adventures in the Surrey School District.

 

We'll MISS YOU!
