Off to the Theater!

Hello Fabulous Families,

Here are some images from our trip to the theater in Balboa Park.  Thank you to all our drivers for making the day possible!  We looked at the photos the next day and the students were very interested in how the puppets were made.  The concepts of simple machines.  

What styles of puppets are out there?
What styles will best support the puppets to move as we do?
What strategies will make strong but movable connections for the pieces?
What materials will best work?
How can a puppet seem concrete and painted, 
but then throw and intricate shadow that displays even more detail?

The students plan to try to create some of their own.  If they work on answering some of these questions through trial and error at home, please ask them to bring in their creations!  I hope your child shared about the lovely field trip day with you.  Have a nice weekend, Jennifer
