A Day of Art

January 29, 2012

We have some wonderful special area teachers at Rocky Hill and last Thursday their hard work paid off. Ms. Boyd and Mrs. Bertolini applied and won a grant that brought the Wooden Strings Theater to our school. The company did a puppet making class with each 4th and 5th grade class, worked with 3rd graders on a performance, and put on their own show of Anansi: An African Tale. The students loved making puppets and the show so much, we decided to make our own puppet shows. The students are working on the videos and will be posting them to their blogs.
