Today was the BIG DAY!! And a Big Day it was. The performance went GREAT!! The Heights students were on their A game today. They all did a wonderful job of performing their poems and filling in for those students who were absent. The Mesa Verde students and teachers absolutely loved the show. It was so much fun watching each group perform. They felt such joy when the audience laughed at their silly performances and that made them act out with even more enthusiasm.
It was so exciting being a part of this day. I am so glad that I was able to work with these students and coach them through the poems they chose. This has been a very enlightening experience. I hope to use some of the techniques we learned in this class to create presentations in my future classroom.
