Today we performed our Readers' Theatres. In Readers' Theatre all of the acting is done with the voice. Students need to have good expression and loud voices to successfully perform. I was very impressed with everyone! Many of our quieter students showed off their voice acting chops. Bravo to everyone!
The following videos are each about 8 minutes long. Unfortunately, the sound is not great and you'll need to turn up the volume on your computer. Enjoy!
The Mummy with Taven, Natalie, Chelsea, Ethan, Ashlyn and Pryncess
The Lazy People with Thomas, Riley, Zac, Shea, Bailey, Cameron, and Nick
The Fairy, the Shepard, and the Prince with Alex, Cam, Pryncess, and Lexi
Mom's Birthday Surprise with Gabe, Alexa, Jacey, Kayden, and Jordan
Ethan's mom brought us our latest Discovery Day project. She provided each child with the following: cardboard, cloth, wooden spoon, tape, and aluminum foil. Everyone had to use only these supplies to build a boat that would float and hold pennies.
Alex and Shea working on their boats.
Zac planning his last step in boat building.
Kayden and Taven start work on their boats.
Mayson waits patiently after finishing his boat as Ethan adds last minute touches.
They float!
But what will happen as the cargo (pennies) is loaded?
What a great chance for the kids to experiment and make predictions about their finished projects! It would be fun to recreate this experiment at home with different supplies and different cargo.
(For the record, I do have girls in my class! I have no idea why Lexi is the only one in any of the pictures. Sorry girls! I'll get you next time.)
