Even though it looks like we are playing, don't be fooled! The assignment was to build a structure that has a drop, a loop, has continuous movement and all with non-verbal communication. The tough part comes when things don't go as planned and you have to re-build, re-design, while still keeping a positive attitude as the clock keeps ticking. Here are a few pics of some of the groups.
The Road to the Revolution started here with these actors. The King was played by Nazarii, tax collectors played by Kara and Ruvim, disgruntled colonists played by Mrs. Johnson's class.
Scene 1, Take 1: The king declares that the colonists will pay taxes on whatever he deems necessary, even if they are thousands of miles away in the new land. They still must follow his rule! (The colonists were given 10 Skittles to stand for $$.)
Anyone wearing glasses will be taxed...sneakers...bows in hair, underwear! No, that's the last straw!! The colonists scream, "These taxes are unfair!"
We are getting ready to celebrate! Our class earned the most red tickets in the 4th grade for the first marking period. Which means our behavior in the hallways, in the cafeteria, in the library, and special activities is exemplary. We had a whole list of prizes to pick from but "bring a stuffed animal to school" won the most votes! We will celebrate on Friday, November 21st. Wear you pajamas and bring your favorite stuffed animal!

Way to go on those red tickets, Mrs. Johnson's class! Good thing those disgruntled colonists stayed inside the classroom! :-)
