Art_The Fifth Grade Performance
Each year the fifth grade puts on a stage performance of art and music integration. Every year it is completely different but there is always a message, original art, and music written by the students. The inspiration for this year's performance is a story from the NorthWest First Nations tradition. How the Loon Lost Her Voice is an origins tale that explains why things are the way they are. There are 6 main animal characters, evil spirits, and the theme of dark and light.
To accentuate the light and dark theme, the girls are telling the story with shadow puppets. They designed the puppets and crafted two sets - the animals in daylight and the animals in the darkness. They brainstormed ideas of how to tell the story with visuals, light, acting, music, and words.
Here they are making and testing their prototypes.

Roanoke: The Lost Colony
The girls are hard at work analyzing primary source documents to develop and support theories about what happened to the settlers of Roanoke. This is one of our country's oldest mysteries. Will our Mawrtians solve it?!

French: Le Meilleur Pâtissier
Before Spring Break, the girls practiced, memorized, and filmed skits where they played contestants on the French baking show, Le Meilleur Pâtissier. They used their knowledge of the verb être and of adjectives, places, prepositions, time, and more to understand, pronounce, and perform the skits. They did fantastic jobs and I always love seeing their acting chops!
I have shared your daughter's video with her on GoogleDrive so that she can view it on her own time and show it to family and friends. Enjoy!
