Wow....what a great celebration our 50th Day was in 1st grade! Students were dressed to 'twist and shout' their way through the day and it was great fun to see everyone is their special attire! Our morning started with 1st graders in awe of a 1950's video showing what school life was like many years ago. Students also enjoyed hearing from a special guest speaker, Charlotte Morgan, who shared what life was like growing up in the 50's. First Graders then challenged themselves to different 50's activities such as; how many bubbles they could blow, how many 'twists' twisted, how many bunny hops hopped, how many times they could hula hoop and how high they could count! The young ladies and gents then put their writing skills to work as they sequenced the steps to making your own rootbeer float. During math, students worked hard estimating how many tootsie rolls/fireballs would fit their 'records'. Last, this fun day came to a close with music from the 50's, complete with a record player to play some of the oldies!
