Connor's mom came in this fall to talk to the class about her cupcake business. She talked about how she makes and decorates treats and how to run a business. At the end of her presentation, the kids had the chance to decorate and eat their own treats!
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!
