The Talent Show Was Amazing!

The first annual IA's Got Talent Show was a huge success!  I was so pleased at how supportive all the students were towards each other during the show.  Everyone who participated worked so hard to make our show amazing.  Keep up the good work IA, you've got talent.  I can't wait until next year's show.

This week in class we are continuing to work on our "History Comes Alive" skits.  Students are creating short "deleted scenes" from American History.  Each group of students are getting the opportunity to write a script and act out a scene that is relevant to early American History.  Some of our skits include; the Federalists vs. the Republicans, The Intolerable Acts,  American seeking support from France during the war, the Battle of Saratoga, Victory at Yorktown, and many more.  Through doing this activity, I am reminded of how much children enjoy learning through play and drama. Let's continue to play and learn!

Also as a reminder don't forget that we still need more parent volunteers to drive on our upcoming field trips.  This week we are headed out on Thursday to go to the waterfall at Rancho Penasquitos.
