This week we did a “play” in Science and we presented it to the 8- and 9-year-olds. These were the roles:
Me: Widow Sycamore
Aidan: Narrator
Alisha: Woody Woodpecker
Audrey: Vera Violet
Lizzie: Judge
Gus: Freddie (FOOT) Fungus
The play was basically a trial for Freddy (FOOT) Fungus. My husband Mr. Sycamore died two years after Freddy (FOOT) Fungus landed on him as a spore. We are debating if he killed Mr. Sycamore, or if he died because of old age. We all had connections to Freddy (FOOT) Fungus except for the Narrator and The Judge. I learned that Fungus is important because it help woodpeckers and flowers.
We all spoke about our connections to Mr. Sycamore and explained our relationships with him and how he effected each of us. We also talked of Freddy’s effect on us. This was important for the small ones to learn about all of the Fungus’ connections and how important it is in an ecosystem.
QUESTIONS:
1. Did the small ones understand?
2. What kind of fungus is the FOOT Fungus?
3. How important was this for the small ones?
I personally thought we all did a GREAT job, and I hope we can do it again in the future.
How did you know the Narrator and the Judge had no connection to Freddie Fungus?
Who are the small ones?
Why are you calling them small?
I love you’re picture!
Lizzie – I think the small ones are the 4th graders we presented to. I too think you guys did a great job! And I love this picture of all of you!
