Decades Project

Our set up with food, music, and lots of pictures!

1970's Dressed as the Schoolhouse Rock crew

The Decades Project is a great one to do toward the end of the year when kids want to be active and have summer to enjoy. This is a project that takes a lot of work from both teacher and student, but it is a great way to learn!

My group chose the 1970's because we thought it was a fun decade with a lot of culture and diversity. It wasn't hard at all to find information on the 1970's. We, of course, had to dress up for our decade, but being college students, we weren't prepared to spend a lot of money on a costume. Since Schoolhouse Rock first started airing in the 1970's, we decided we could easily dress as characters from the cartoons and not only was it fun, it was also educational! Schoolhouse Rock was used in the classroom all the time during the 70's and even now some teachers make use of the fun songs. We had a great time and spent only a few dollars each to make our outfits.
