Watch our play!

Today we performed our play called The Smart Swagalicious Sailors of Awesomeness and the 3 Settlements.  As we studied the settlements of Roanoke, Jamestown, and Plymouth, we analyzed each settlement to determine the variables that led to the difficulties or success that the settlers experienced. When we were discussing this, we talked about what would make a “just right” settlement. This reminded us of the story Goldilocks and the 3 Bears.  So, we decided to write our own version of this story and perform it as a play to explain the conditions we think would make a successful settlement.  We hope you enjoy it!

Bill Buczinsky

The kids thoroughly enjoyed poet Bill Buczinsky's presentation this morning.  His energetic presentation brought poetry to life for the kids.  When we returned to class we talked about what messages he wanted us to take away about poetry.  The kids decided that he wanted us to know that: 

Poetry is....-different and exotic-more than just words on a page-in everyone-can be inspired by anything-rhythm-movement-an image-fun!
-not always meant to be serious
