50 Days of Fabulous!!

Today we celebrated being in school for 50 Days!! The kids had a great time..... we listened to original Rock N' Roll we learned about how people lived in the 50's, how they dressed, danced, and things that were important to them! We also learned about the things that the 50's gave to us- Disneyland, McDonald's, Passenger airplanes, highways, a population boost, suburbs, credit cards and sooooo many more things!!

  Our List of what being 50 years old is like..... Oh I laughed so hard!

 Making our people from the 50's!

 They Turned out cute- These were the models.....

We still had our normal tests but there was more fun thrown into the mix than usual. We watched a few videos including Marty McFly singing some awesome music and then a documentary on the era of the 50's they were both pretty brief but very descriptive! Make sure to ask your kids about their day, we ended with root beer floats!

All in all it was a very productive week! I am experimenting with a few aspects of the classroom, I am incorporating a new "pilot" math program with the kids it is very interactive and I can see a difference in the kids and how much more appealing math is to all of them! I personally love the program and hope your children have been chatting with you about it! Another dimension I am working with is moving our reading, reading workshop and writing workshop into a different approach as well...... I will keep you updated on these things but for now enjoy the weekend!
