PARADE DAY!

We had so much fun at our parade today! The students looked fantastic after wrapping themselves in an assortment of colorful streamers and balloons. Some were so well wrapped that it impeded their dance moves! After finishing the ArtSpace points and everyone getting stickers and photo DVDs we headed outside with feather masks, glittery floats, bead maracas, and cardboard guitars. Everyone lined up on the pavement and did the first rendition of their dance to "American Boy". We then marched, screaming, yelling, and whistling, around the school throwing candy and doubloons to onlookers until we made it to the flagpole where dancing round two happened. The students did a good job if incorporating dust clouds into their solos with fancy footwork. Exhausted from the heat we headed back inside for water. What a great ArtSpace day and year!




















We'll miss you! And have a good summer.

Almost there......

Today we did a dress rehearsal of our parade! We practiced our dance, went over our parade route and made sure all of our throws, floats and masks were looking good. We are so excited to show all of the teachers, family and friends of the kids all the cool things we have been doing in Artspace. They have worked REALLY hard and we are stoked about our parade on Wednesday!!!!!!!

Parade Route!

Now that our dance is done & our masks & floats are looking good, we had to figure out where to have this parade! We decided to take a little journey outside and thought that starting at the jungle gym and walking along the main building of Moya would be best. We also thought it would be cool to start & end the parade with our dance! We will do a dress rehearsal on Monday to make sure everything runs smoothly but it seems to be an awesome plan thus far!

Finishing Touches!

Today was the day to finish EVERYTHING!!!! We had feathers, paint, glue, fabric, beads, and lots of GLITTER all over the place! Thankfully everyone finished their projects & they look RAD! Sorry...no pics! You will have to come to the parade to see the finished product! :)
