Our Last Trek

Today's trek led us to the Theatre Department and TigUr Garden.  

On with the show!  At the theater students were able to meet a few young actors, see a stage set, go backstage, visit the costume shop and see carpenters building a new set in a workshop!  

Hello Theatre Department

Ms. Alice (a former Campus School parent) gave us the grand tour and introduced us to some theater folk. 

Theater

Ms. Alice talked to us about sets and stage presence.

Workshop where lots of set hands are busy building!  

Working costume shop where costume designers were cutting, patterning, sewing and answering all our questions!  

Costume Shop

Ben works the curtains backstage.  Backstage there is an enormous pulley system that suspends so many things.  Here I was able to connect science lessons about pulleys, kinetic energy and weight!  

Actors spend some time talking to kids about the life of an actor.  

Sachin participates in a little improv act about how costume designers and actors work together.  

A garden we will go.... and get free stuff!  

Who would've known we would get beachballs, bubbles, sunglasses, beads and a frisbee!  Thanks garden friends.  

Sunflowers! 

Where the sunflower seeds come from.

Underneath the loofa vine!

Anna Rose holds a...daisy.   Should've been a rose!  

Minha picked a pepper!  

Kids LOVE to taste the mint leaves!  

Asparagus! 

AND they even invited us to their birthday party!  Campus School students are well loved around the university.  Thanks so much for sharing your birthday celebration with us.  We had so much fun!

Thanks Ms. Alice and Garden Crew for hosting us today.  We had a BLAST! 

Thank YOU parents for sharing your kids with me this week.  They represented Campus School very well and each day was a fun adventure.
