50's Day/50th Day of School

We kicked off our Social Studies unit on History with 1950's Day today!
Students learned that advances in science and technology have changed and continue to change the way people communicate by using artifacts and photographs to see what life was like in the 50's.
Students interviewed someone who lived in the 50's, learned and compared dance moves from then and now, created comic strips using Peanuts characters (Peanut Comic was first introduced in 1950), compared prices of items in the 1950's to now, learned different slang words from the era and most notably made old fashion root beer floats.
