FINAL COUNTDOWN TO THE BIG PROM
Posted by Brennan on April 19, 2012
It’s (not) important (at all) to note that, in order to help me start this blog entry, I just watched the “Jaws 4” trailer. Dudes. This time, it’s personal.
(Is it personal because that’s the one with like a baby shark or something at the end? PS—Spoiler alert. Except probably not, because I get them all confused. In one there’s this shark family thing, and in one there’s like this robot shark. Also, close that beach.)
I’m stalling a bit, because I’m a little embarrassed to be writing this a few days late. But not SO embarrassed that I won’t write it at all! Hurray for getting over ourselves!
This past Monday morning, the Dawes School Show cast marched into Dawes Elementary, (under our arms: piles of cardboard boats, tutus, George Washington wigs made of toilet paper rolls, and giant tv-box-sized Red Lobster tables complete with pop-up buckets of crab, lemon butter sauce, and ice cream…you know, the uusch), and as has been widely declared and agreed-upon, a grand time was had by all. What a wonderful morning….

Barrel of Monkeys is ramping up our first of two school shows at LEARN Campbell and it’s already SO WONDERFUL! The stories are so character-driven.. The dialogue feels so real, and in the words of director, Molly, the writing is just downright sophisticated. It’s really just lovely. We’re having fun. Thank you, students of LEARN Campbell!
I’m not much of a photographer, and we’ve been inspired by these stories to do some pretty strange-looking things, and when you combine those two facts together, you get a fun game called “Guess what’s happening at LEARN rehearsal!!”
What do you think is happening in this picture? Is it:
A) Sarah is singing from the rooftops and Laura is going to sneak up on her and do some crazy karate moves?
B) Donnell and Brandon are holding Sarah captive in a tree, and Laura the cat is going to try to rescue her?
C) Sarah is behaving terribly and playing and jumping on the couch and Laura is afraid she’s going to fall?
Answer after the break!

“Mysterious Zoo” by Marco A., Ms. Im. Little Village

The elephants brake the other cages of the other animals. and the other animals are free to get out of their cages.

The monkeys goes to the food court and eat bananas. Some of the monkeys are drinking banana smoothies and banana milkshakes. Instead of the elephants eating peanuts they eat peanut butter sandwiches.
