Landry News by Andrew Clements

A video book report by Mia for Landry News by Andrew Clements.


The Tempest

We went to a performance of The Tempest presented by Shakespeare by the Sea. In preparation for the play, we read summaries of The Tempest and familiarized ourselves with the main characters:  Prospero, Miranda, Ferdinand, Caliban, Ariel, Gonzalo, Stephano, and King Alonso. We also read the summary here.

National Ice Cream Month

To celebrate national ice cream month in July, we did an ice cream themed math problem and walked to the corner store for some ice cream!





Mozart

Mozart was born in Salzburg, Austria. Mozart's first compositions were published in Paris, France. Mozart heard the Misere sung by the choir in the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Mozart enjoyed playing duets with his sister Nannerl. In 1782, Mozart married Constanze Weber. Mozart died in Vienna in 1791. Mozart was a great composer of the Classical period.

Oregon

I went on a crazy trip
 We saw mount sasha


  

 And I went into a collapsed valcano
     
    Saw Ice in a tube that lava flowed to
  
   And I had a grand time meeting Theodore jr. ( from Alvin and the chipmunks ) 
     
     But I had a grand time
