A Little of This and A Little of That (22)

Today was a little of this and a little of that. As a class we did a little mindfulness lesson- How can puppet shows be used to spread mindfulness. I had them write a 30 second puppet show script about mindfulness. It was a fun way to kick off the day. Mini-advertisements before the main attraction.

We made some observations of our hydroponics tower- lettuce is growing.



Then students performed their puppet shows. We have the other half tomorrow. It was amazing to see their creativity after just 3 class periods to write a script, design a Playbill, a background and puppets. Each puppets role was to explain their types of behavioral, physiological and structural adaptations in a fun way.

Some were silly, some were very research based- but they were all informative and entertaining. I am so proud of them. My ESL students who are shy in class, belted out dialogue behind the curtain. It was very cool to see their personalities come to life.

It is a great project for sure.
