Centenarians Visit
/This week we celebrated our 100th day of school together! We spent time talking about the number 100, the word root cent, and about what life might be like in 100 years. To explore the idea of 100 more deeply, we invited in several guest speakers who are nearly centenarians. We got to ask our special guests questions about what life was like when they were in first/second grade. We talked about the changes in technology, schools, and culture that has occurred over the last several decades. Our guests regaled us with stories of their childhoods. We learned about old-time items like paper dolls, records, phone booths, and cars that started with a crank. They talked about what life was like without modern technologies and told us what it felt like to be nearing 100 years old. What an amazing experience to get to share time with these wise and loving guests.
