Today we began again with Mr. David Lewis, the artist-teacher from "We Tell Stories." Today Mr. Lewis worked to develop some basic theater skills with the students. Since he is planning to have them act out the "Salt" story they read a couple months ago, he had them become characters from the story and he interviewed them. You can see him doing this in the photograph above. He had them use their imagination to add details to the story (for example, when he was interviewing students who were the cooks to the king) or by changing details of the story (for example, changing the sons to daughters). He also had them manipulate some imaginary items like balls again in preparation for what they will do tomorrow.
The rest of the day was pretty ordinary -- and a let down after all that fun! We checked and corrected homework. We went to the Tech Center where we started to add our stories to our think.com pages. We went to PE, took a math test, and did some independent work (while the teacher finished grading the history tests). Very, pleasant quiet day, overall.
Home Studies: (1) Finish the study sheets on "Good Times" and "Thirty-first State." Be sure to answer in complete sentences. (2) Read "Linear Measurement," Math, page 422 and then do problems 11-29 on pages 424-425. (3) Do the math worksheet. Be sure to do the check step, probably on a separate sheet of paper.
