This week we had to jump around a lot, thematically, as some classes had to get caught up on train movement while other classes moved on to earthquake material.
The earthquake stuff, predictably, was fun. We explained (verrrrry broadly) the different types of seismic waves and built material from that.
Some gestures grew out of: recreating these waves with hands/arms, "passing" a type of shaking from one person to another, holding hands and snaking arms to represent S waves, traveling back and forth like 2 tectonic plates and jumping to imitate a compression wave reaching the surface.
And of course they did a lot of falling down.
It is looking more likely that we will have a showing with all three grades on Tuesday, 11/5. Fingers crossed...
