=__﻿ ﻿ ﻿ ﻿ ﻿Valika's 195o's __= =﻿ ﻿ = = Zoom! You are trapped in a time machine and the only way you can get out is if you go on an adventure to explore the 1950's. Your in luck if you like studing about time periods ecpecially the 1950's. First, you will learn about education. Then, you will be zapped to find out the fashion back then,after that, you will learn about the games/entertainment, so I suggest you hold on tight and learn major events in the 1950's, so you b﻿﻿ett﻿er buckle up and prepare for the ride of your lifetime. = = ﻿﻿ ﻿ __ ﻿The old school life __= = Here we are, we're at an elementary school. Did you ever wonder what subjects they learned? Well they learned arithmetic, science, history and a little bit of language arts. Look here, these are their books. Whack! Uh oh, looks like a boy's getting a whack with the paddle as his punishment. They did not have school buses, so the students had to walk or bike to school and back. Elementary schools were more close to kids but in highschool they were more far away to students.They didn't have uniforms that they needed to wear.Most of the girls just wore pleated skirts. Also, they didn't have any major tests that they had to take in elementary. If you look down you can see people enlisting for the draft. Oops, I forgot to tell you that World War ll happened around the 1950's, to be precise it happened in 1941. If you look around you can see pictures of Uncle Sam posters, saying I want you to join the U.S army. Most teenagers ended their ed ﻿ ucation at high school because of the draft. = == = The ﻿__CREATIVE__ ﻿fashion = Whoosh, hop on off cause were here, perfect, ladies are here. They're wearing cardigan sweaters backwards, so it looks like a pullover sweater. They're also wearing pennyloafer. There's a dime on the tip of their penny loafers.Did you know that they placed coins on their penny loafers, so they could call home? If you look very closely you can see that there wearing ankle bracelets. Here comes another lady, she's ﻿wearing a big man shirt[sort of like a T-shirt] that's tied up into a tail in the back.You better get all your notes written down for fashion because we're

getting ready to go to the park and play area.

Most of the adults back then skated on their free time. Also, when the children were finished with their work they roller skated too. The adults somet﻿imes would listen to the radio for music or entertaining converstions.On the weekends, teenagers would get together and go to the movies. Back then, they could get 2 tickets for just 50 cents!These were things they did back then for fun. = = ﻿ = = ﻿ ﻿ = == =__ Wrap it up time﻿ __= = ﻿ It's time to wrap it up on what you learned from the trip today.
