Wow! I was totally impressed by the UMS first grade students today! It was a full day, but I think everyone had a great time. We began our day at the Firehouse Gallery on Church Street, where we were treated to a guided tour of the entire gallery! Our tour guides and hosts were fantastic, and they knew how to engage the students' imaginations and higher-level thinking skills. They asked great questions, and our students gave thoughtful answers! Students were asked to think about the relationship between humans and our environment, which was the theme of the exhibit on display. Our visit ended with lunch in the Firehouse Gallery (it was too cold to eat outside). We were glad to have so many parents join us today for lunch!
Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type at the Flynn Theater!
I have not yet been disappointed with a show at the Flynn, and today was no exception. Judging by the reaction of students at the show, they loved it too! The music was lively and the actors were superb! The storyline of the musical did vary from the book, which may have surprised some students. Our companion workshop prepared us well, though! Students even knew one of the songs in advance! Unfortunately, I could not take pictures of the show (no flash photography), so this part of our trip lives only in our memories, not in photos. Ask your child for details! :-)
