SACS TO BFA: A DRAMA WORKSHOP UNITING PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE PERFORMERS
BFA drama teacher, Susan Palmer, brought a dozen BFA drama improvisation students to a special midday lesson at SACS on Wednesday, May 15th. A number of the visitors were former St. Albans City School students. Those present from City School were a third grade group scheduled for a lesson with Ms. Maher and a selected group of 7/8 drama students to learn from their older peers. The workshop began with a warmup activity followed by some improvised acting situations. For example, students had to open up a box and express surprise or generate other responses in a convincing manner. Although the time for working together was short, the BFA drama group visit had the extra benefit of introducing our drama students to the BFA drama staff and students they will be joining at BFA once they graduate from SACS.
NAVIGATORS (EMMONS) DAIRY IN THE CLASSROOM: CHEESEMAKING
The 'Dairy in the Classroom' educator also visited Ms. Emmons classroom to teach students about cheesemaking. Similar to Ms. Borst's classroom experience, the students heated up milk to make cheese. They also examined a cow skull and learned about goats.
