We're moving into the "heavy, deep and real" portion of our production: gathering our costumes, finalizing our shot sequences, arranging for filming on location, amassing an impressive pile of props, learning the ins and outs of our various camcorders, thinking about adequate if not stellar sound production...that kind of thing. Unlike years past where various groups concocted self-contained vignettes that we then strung together, this year's vision involves close to sixty-three separate, inter-related scenes that take place all over (and above!) the Seattle area! Needless to say, the thought of managing such a production is capable of inducing panic attacks in Mary Margaret and me! (Bert seems more "chill" about it...but that could just be sleep depravation talkin'!!) Soon we will be calling upon all of you to help us with transportation to location shots - most notably the Museum of Flight, Mt. Baker Beach and Seward Park. We will also be looking into Metro bus routes whenever possible, but will definitely appreciate your support for this effort. So stay tuned for dates, times and locations!
In the Reading Workshop realm, we've finally managed to establish our online "Book Review" site at http://aqua-mac.seattlegirlsschool.org/ (login: student /password: purple) I plan to introduce it to Core B later this morning, after which there should actually be some riveting reviews to peruse! We have Mary Margaret (who crafted the site) and our interim tech guy, John Howe, to thank for this technological tool!!
On the horizon: our April Vocabulary Quiz is slated for Friday morning...followed by an all class trip to Uwajimaya for lunch! Bert and I will escort the girls down Jackson via the #8 bus for 90 minutes of delicious diversion! (MM will be at a Northwest Girls Coalition function…she’s the current president of this organization.) This is just one of the perks that the Mission to Mars crews have earned through their continued attention to beautification details…each crew readily earned the requisite 250 points necessary to “win” this event. We’ll return in the afternoon in time to spend more time on Production.

This whole blog thing is a little out of my comfort area (how old does that make me sound?!). BUT, I do love reading the posts and actually HEARING and seeing what's going on in snippets of the class. Thank you so much for the work you've put into this. What an amazing crew! Susan Hannibal
