Last week the 2nd graders gave a presentation featuring important people and artists. It was one of the best presentations I have been to! I was so impressed with all the kids and how much they actually learned! The art teacher, Linda did an amazing job with the kids.
We went through a journey of what their lessons. First they sang some songs and signed them as well. They had spent a portion of the lessons learning about Helen Keller. The faces the kids made to go along with the hand gestures were perfect...so funny and right on key with the feelings they were trying to portray.
Then we watched their miming skills that they learned from lesson on Marcel Marceau. It was hilarious to watch 60+ 2nd graders miming that they were stuck in a box.
Eric Carle was the next important person they learned about. Some of the children, including Noah, participated in a skit about The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Noah was part of the salami that the caterpillar ate through.
Last but not least the kids all created puppets while they learned about Jim Henson. Their puppets all talked and sang. They were all funny and unique!
