the amazing presentation (show) of the end of the program. Today was the last day of the summer program and every summer each group has to do something for the late night show. My student (girls entering 8th grade (2 are entering 9th)) did an “I am..” poem in the beginning. You would only hear their voices, no one is seen during this part. The dancers are behind the curtains waiting for the poets to finish. As soon as the girls said “We are unwritten,” the curtains open, the song Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield (shorter verison, I cut some parts out) starts to play. And what do you begin to see, my girls preparing to dance to blow the audience away.
The dancers did AMAZING! I was so proud of them. I believe everyone love the ending. Reason: Towards the ending, the girls had to pick up their props and a poster board that had words from the poem (like funny or creative) and freeze at different points in the last 30 seconds of the song. All the girls did different poses depending on their words. Then the last person to get their poster and freeze was the person who had the word “Unwritten.” SHE WAS ON POINT when it was her turn. It was just amazing.
I’m so proud of them. Even though I was very upset with them this morning about the show and exam and everything that was going on…we ended the night well. congrats girls, and thank you for the beautiful cards (hahahahaha I act like they are going to read this). I’m just in a good mood because being a teacher does pay off….but it’s nice to finally be on break. =]
