Grade 4 - Year End Performance Planning

Grade 4 has been collaborating ideas about what to do for the year end performance and we came up with the idea of a music and dance performance about inquiry and discovery.  Some students in particular have been working on organizing and writing the whole performance.  They began by changing the lyrics to the song "What's This?" from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas to be about the inquiry and discoveries of Sir Isaac Newton and Galileo.  Then, they came up with ideas and choreography for some drama and dance to match the message in the lyrics.   We are still in the early stages but the ideas are starting to blossom.  Here's a look at the rough draft of the new lyrics.  We hope it will be a real showstopper!
