Puppet Show!!

Here's a VIDEO of our puppet show! (Visit the blog to see it)

The audience for the puppet show

Our last class, for this school year, we had a little party and invited the parents and families of the kids. For the last two weeks, the kids have been working on their handmade puppets, and then with Daisy, working on the character development and 'plot.' 
  
The kids divided themselves in small groups, and each presented their plays.

Some of the kids brought drinks and chips, and California Center for the Arts, Escondido Education department, provided fruit, pizza and drinks.

We had a wonderful turnout! Lots of parents and siblings!

Before the puppet show began, the kids did watercolor paintings of their puppets.

The visiting kids painted whatever they wanted to.

She did this all by herself! One of the kids' little sister.

Even the moms got into the art-making!

Mundo Lindo will start up again in Fall, 2012. It's for 4th and 5th grade kids who attend Escondido Public Schools.

Puppet Show!

We worked on finishing the puppets today, for next week's performance.

Daisy worked with the kids to figure out their performances with plot, (beginning/middle/ending) sound effects and props. 

Check out that marvelous new puppet theatre! A volunteer build it for us!
