MS Week in Review: our 5th graders were "Over the Moon" learning about hyperbole and our 7th graders worked together to calculate tax, tip, and discount in math.

Sophomores in English 10 completed a dynamic three-day Shakespeare residency led by Shake on the Lake (SOTL).
Using their "fun, fast, and physical" method, students staged creative, abridged scenes in a combined performance, reimagining speeches (e.g., Mark Antony's) with themes from the Wild West to Minions. Ms. Czajkowski noted the goal was for students to "better understand the text and themselves through performance."
SOTL is a professional touring company bringing Shakespeare and arts education programs to rural Upstate NY communities. Thank you to the Trumansburg Education Foundation for helping to make this possible!
