Fitness Frankie and Exercise Ernie Dance at the Sock Hop!

Hi everyone,
    It was a short week last week but it sure was a fun one!  Monday was the 50th Day of School!  Some of the primary classes celebrated by dressing up as if they were living in the 1950's and Mrs. R invited everyone to the gymnasium for a "Sock  Hop"!  We did not know what a "Sock Hop" was so Mrs. R explained that it is a dance!  In the 50's, boys and girls would go to the gymnasium for a dance, but they had to take off their shoes so that they would not scratch the floor.....so that's why it's called a "Sock Hop"!  We left our shoes on......wait.....we don't have any shoes so I guess we don't have to worry!  Mrs. R taught us to do the Hand Jive, The Stroll, and the Twist!  Everyone looked great and we met Sandy!  Sandy is Mrs. R's 1950's bear.  She wears a poodle skirt and sings too!
All of the classes earned a mile for Healthy Highway because dancing is great exercise!
We've said it before but we will say it again......
WE LOVE HEALTHY HIGHWAY!
Love, Fitness Frankie and Exercise Ernie
