50's Day




Thursday October 29th was the 50th day Claire attended 1st grade. The grade celebrated this occasion with 50's day. Claire was decked out in a poodle skirt and scarfs for school. Throughout the day, the kiddo's learned 1950's trivia, drank root beer floats and attempted hulahooping. The class was also given an assignment to interview someone who was alive in the 1950's. Claire chose Papa, who was readily available because of Geoff. I think she learned some interesting things, not only about the era, but about her Papa too! I think the best statement of the interview was not about the 50's, but "Papa, do you think you can write this...I don't know 50's words!". The grade also did a music program full of 50's music. It was TOO cute, and impressive...the kids knew the words and dance moves to go with them! Hopefully we will get the video posted soon.
