Flynn Trip: Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters

Earlier this week, Susanna Olson, a teaching artist from the Flynn Center for Performing Arts came to RES to preview some of the acting techniques the actors will be using when we visit the Flynn to see the show Mufaro's Beautiful Daughters.  We also learned about some of the props that will be used in the show, especially spirit poles and masks.

If you find extra time over vacation, it might be fun to try out some of the additional activities available in the activity guide.  Of particular interest to third graders might be the exploration of the many variations of the Cinderella fairy tale, particularly since we will be diving into a writing unit after the break!
