Today we started our residency with the Dunham Dance Company. This group was inspired by the work of the great African-American choreographer Katherine Dunham who did groundbreaking work in combining modern dance with traditional dance movements from African and the Caribbean. We’ll be working with these artists each Tuesday and Friday for the next four weeks, and we’ll be doing a culmination next month. I’ll keep you posted on the date.
Homework: (1) Study spelling. (2) Do “Recording Concept Information” sheet. Read the directions carefully here. The point is to tell what each selection added to our understanding of the idea of imagination, not to recapitulate the story. (3) Complete the chapter 12 review, page 210 and the cumulative review, page 211.
Additionally, many students need to finish the drawing and description of the of the characters and setting of the fantasy story they plan to write for the unit culmination.
By the beginning of next week all students should have completed the lowercase letters in the handwriting book.
