Ashley's Plays

 In Challenge class they have studied about Shakespeare this year and to end the year they performed the play Twelfth Night.  They had a great time working on it and did a really good job.  They had the script on the screen and were using a script from a group that adapts Shakespeare for kids.

 With some of her favorite friends and their sweet teacher Mrs. Dillard-I loved Ashley's hat-looked very much like those pointy ones ladies wore in that time and it was made of a sheet of craft foam and had pink netting coming out of the top.  This play was in April.

3rd graders study SC history in Social Studies and went on a fabulous field trip to Columbia to the State House and State Museum and even got to meet our new governor, Henry McMaster-with her class in the picture below

 The 3rd graders always do a big play at the end of the year to show all they have learned about our state.  They tell about the history, state symbols, and famous people of our state.  Ashley was movie star Andie McDowell

 There wasn't room for all of them on stage at once so they switched places halfway through.  They also sang several songs like "Nothin' could be finer than to live in Carolina" and the song that lists all the counties in our state to the tune of "Yankee Doodle."

 Ashley's friend Claire in the black dress was our former governor, now UN ambassador, Nikki Haley

 There were kids who talked about peaches, milk, sweet tea, fish, our state dog, bbq

 and MANY more-including my favorite costume-collard greens made out of layers and layers of green tissue paper!

 The grand finale was a group of students doing the shag!  It was a great play and you could tell how much hard work the kids and teachers had put into practicing for it!

Then we got to go visit classrooms to see their Cooking Carolina projects-in groups they had to create a restaurant with a menu and cookbook and then create a container for carry out to keep food at the right temperature.  Theirs was Big Bites BBQ
