************************************************

Today, our school watched a 50-minute high-energy, educational, and fun musical theatre presentation called 'The Weather of Oz'. Students heard original music, watched exciting characters, learned from curriculum-driven scripts, and played a role in audience participation.

"Oh no! Dorothy has a feeling she’s not in Kananaskis anymore, and only the Wizard can help her! Take a flight on “Rising Air” and skip along the Yellow Larch Road with Dorothy and her furry companions. Will she be able to find the Wizard and get home, or will the Wicked Wind of the West get her first?" 


In this play, students learned about weather and seasonal changes. 

Ask me why the rabbit is white during the winter...

...because she can tolerate the cold weather!

Ask me what the marmot does during the winter...

...she hibernates!

Do they breathe? (Two times)

Ask me about the clouds. 

Ask me these questions from the presentation!

Can birds detect bad weather and fly around the storm?

No! 

Does a red sunset mean nice weather the next day?

Yes!

Which comes first, lightning or thunder?

Lightning.

Can lightning strike the same place more than once?

Yes, the Empire State Building was struck 15 times in 15 minutes!

We read the book...

Ask me about the rhyming words...

 ...light and bright, snug and hug, still and chill, cozy and dozy. 

Where is the fox coming out from... his den.             Ask me which animal is the prey?

                                                                              Ask me which animal is the predator. 

Ask me another name for his home (cave and lair). 

We read 

and listened for rhymes... fast and past, others and brothers.
