Our Very Groovy 70's Party

As a reward for filling up our marble jar (based on excellent effort and teamwork during related arts), the kids decided to have a 70's party today. Everyone was invited to dress in their favorite 70's wear, and I told the kids we would play some 70's music. To be quite honest, I wasn't sure what was going to happen. I knew we'd enjoy the music, but I wasn't sure what the kids would do once the music began. When we cranked up the music (a big thanks to Mrs. Duckett and Mrs. Selby for sending in some tunes), the kids immediately made our blue carpet into a dance floor. As you can see from the pictures below, it soon turned into a limbo line - which was a TON of fun. Everyone was laughing, smiling, dancing, and enjoying themselves. It was one of those really special moments in the life of our class. When the limbo line fizzled out, we started doing a line dance Mrs. Waddell-Poole taught them during related arts. Again - everyone danced. The 70's had made their way into Room 241! Enjoy the video below...

For some reason, I think Alex was the lowest in limbo. I remember being in awe of his balance.
