KISD Theatre Camps!
Sixth Grade Classes
The Party!
- Thank you SO MUCH to all who donated to our party! See a few pics below--I'm afraid I was too caught up in the day to be a great photographer. We played Kahoot, built Globe models out of Legos, drew Shakespeare portraits, and enjoyed Elizabethan cuisine. It was a great day!
A Midsummer Night's Dream
- We have finished the heart of the play! This week, we have STAAR and our guest instructor, Richard Haratine. Next week, we will begin our final project for the year: performing Act 5 of Midsummer!
Ask your student
- What does Puck to do Bottom?
- Who ends up falling in love with Bottom?
- How do you think the play will end?
Sonnets
Sonnet XV
As I stare at the rolling ocean waves
I inhale and breathe in the beachy air
My eyes find a large cliff and a few caves
The subtle breeze gently rustles my hair
My feet sink into the sugar-like sand
A tall palm tree hangs right above my head
I feel as if I am in Wonderland
I hear the ocean calling me ahead
Step by step I walk along the beach shore
The cold water touches my pinky toe
I hope I’ll be able to come once more
If it were up to me, I’d never go
I feel sunlight shining upon my face
Surely, the beach is my favorite place
-Madie H.
Sonnet CCL
Thou art the morning blossom of the sky
For you unlocked the gate into my heart
Thy wish to glide along the world so high
I hope that we shall never grow apart
The day you descend to the standing ground
I swear to help you into the cloud’s hands
Where you shall stay forever safe and sound
So fly, great friend, for I know you have plans
I stare as your wings flutter with such grace
Your feathers fade into the world of blue
I wish that I could fly at such a pace
As you disappear I cry out for you
I turn away and stand as still as stone
For all great birds can stand all on their own
-Alex A.
Fifth Grade Classes
Peter Pan
- We are almost done with the play! We just finished Act 4, in which Tinkerbell heroically sacrifices herself for Peter.
- We are finishing up one of my favorite projects, Lip Syncs! (See photo!) This project involves students choreographing moves to a song, working together, AND choosing a song to match a given theme. They practice musical theatre as well as sound design!
Makeup
Starting on Friday, we will begin our stage makeup demonstration. I will paint a bruise/cut on your students using Ben Nye makeup and latex-free sponges.
This is completely optional, but I thought I would give you a heads up!
Ask Your Student:
- What song did you choose for the lip synch?
- How did the song match your theme?
- How did Tinkerbell save Peter?
- How does Tinkerbell get saved?
- Why does Peter Pan make a better play than a movie in that scene?
BCI in the House: MAY EVENTS!

- This is not required or expected--for fun only!
