WOW! What a cool week! This was the first week that we explored stories and were creating something without using the materials! We used ourselves instead! Here’s how it happened: We were reading Hondo & Fabian by Peter McCarty and Maddie suggested that we act out the story. So some people were Hondo the Dog and some were Fabian the Cat, one was Fred (Hondo’s friend) and the rest of us were the audience. It was fun to read this story and act out things like jumping in waves and eating turkey sandwiches. It was so fun that we kept going after the story was over and made up our own stories!
We broke up into groups that didn’t really stay so seperate which was totally fine, and worked up a story in our imagination. Then we took turns telling out loud and acting out the story we made up! Maddie and Lauren told the story of Peter Rabbit and Flopsy, Daniel told Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Alex told the story of Jumping Jacks. Never heard it before? Jumping Jacks was doing a lot of jumping jacks all over the place. Then some monsters started attacking her, so she killed them. She did more jumping jacks, but it just wasn’t the same. She made the monsters come back to life. But they bothered her too much so she killed them again. This time, Jumping Jacks jumped for joy.
We heard the story of Franklin the Turtle, whose mother told him it was okay to go outside but don’t go in the forest! Sure enough he did anyway, got lost and hid in his shell. He’d probably still be there if it wasn’t for his friends who came and rescued him. Lastly, Yang told the tale Skeleton. We turned the lights off and watched as the Skeleton captured a bat and brought it home to feed the ghosts in his castle. When he got home, there was a witch there. They had to do battle, and Skeleton won. The whole thing was very scary. I hope we continue this next week, and I will try to be prepared to capture some of these images!
