This past Thursday the kindergarten students celebrated reaching the 50th day of school with a 1950's style day. Many students as well as the teachers dressed in 1950's style wear: white T-shirts, jeans, leather/jean jackets, poodle skirts, pony tails and greased hair. The students investigated how items from the past have since changed in 2015. We discussed changes in how we listen to music, watch TV, how we dress, the cars and trucks that we drive, the toys they play with and the type of books we read today. The students enjoyed a 1950's style drink, an ice cream float. The students made predictions about whether the ice cream in an ice cream float really does float. Most students thought it would and we tested their hypothesis out by enjoying a root beer or orange float at snack time. All the students said they liked the floats. Students made a 50's necklace, enjoyed 1950's activities such as bowling and having a sock hop in the gym as well as playing with hula hoops and scooters. They also learned some 1950's dances such as the Twist and Hand Jive as well as The Stroll. As a final activity the students had a bubble blowing contest. The students found this activity difficult but some students were able to blow bubbles.
