50s Day Mystery

The 50th Day of school started out in style.  The students and teachers looked like cool cats!  The room looked like a diner and the music was rock'in!  We even danced the hand jive!

Then, our fifty's day took a mysterious turn.  Mrs. Hornby came in with a mystery.  Someone had stolen another boy's microphone.  She had six suspects and a description of each.  We had to be her detectives to solve this 50th day mystery.

 

We solved reading and math puzzles to get clues.  Then, we used the clues with the descriptions to help us solve the mystery.  Students had to read passages and infer, solve math word problems, practice rounding, and balance equations.  It is a good thing Mrs. Hornby asked these third graders to solve this mystery because they have the skills!

We did it!  These super sleuths cracked the case and delivered their findings to Mrs. Hornby.  She gave the sleuths a "50 days Smarter" award and some bubble gum.  We also celebrated with root beer floats and more hand jive!
