MACBETH



Last night was Chet's class performance of MacBeth. It was amazing! Everyone one of those kids had that whole entire story memorized and recited their lines without any help. That's a lot of work for 2nd graders! In the weeks leading up to the play Chet would not tell his parts or anything about the play.. he wanted it to be a complete surprise and it was! He played 3 different parts. He was a greeter, the Dr. and a son. As soon as I figure out how to get video clips from my video camera to the computer I'll post some video. They did such a good job! Oskar's mesh suit was made out of pop can tabs. Amazing! That's a lot of pop cans and a lot of work! Way to go Mrs. Powell's 2nd grade class!

Try this little quiz..

Here's a fun little quiz for ya! You can fill it out on your own and keep track of your answers or.. if you are really brave cut & paste it in my comments so we can see your answers...


1. You are walking in the woods. You are not alone. Who’s with you? Kelly

2. You are walking in the woods. You see an animal. A beautiful white horse with a long mane and tail

3. What interaction takes place between you and the animal? I walk over to him, pet him, climb on his back and go for a ride... bareback

4. You walk deeper in the woods. You enter a clearing, and before you is your dream house. How big is it? Not really big, but big enough for all of us... a rambler. It's got a nice porch with a porch swing

5. Is your dream house surrounded by a fence? only the back yard is fenced

6. You enter the house. You walk into the dining room and see the dining table, what is on it? A pretty vase in the center with fresh flowers.

7. You exit the house and a cup is on the ground, what kind is it? A pretty crystal goblet

8. What do you do with the cup? I pick it up and put it in the dishwasher

9. You walk to the edge of the property where you find yourself standing at a body of water. What kind? a small pond stocked with trout! :)

10. How will you cross the body of water? in a canoe, after I stop in the middle and fish

The ANSWERS

1. The person who you are walking in the woods with is the most important to you. Well there are lots that are very important to me but you're right.... Kelly is right up there!

2. The size of the animal is representative of your perception of the size of your problems in your life. Ouch! atleast I didn't say an Elephant!

3. The severity of the interaction you have with the animal is representative of how you deal with your problems. So I climbed on and went for a ride... what does that mean?

4. The size of your dream home is representative of the size of your ambition. Nope, Just happy with what I have :)

5. A lack of a fence is indicative of an open personality. People are welcome at all times. The presence of a fence indicates a closed personality. You’d prefer people not drop by unannounced. Theres nothing I love more than having loved ones over.. anyone is welcome anytime! The fence around back is for the big Akita I someday want in my backyard and to keep my kids safe


6. If your answer did NOT include food, flowers, or people, then you are generally unhappy. I hope I am a happy person.. I do get grumpy like anyone else but I've really got nothing to complain about :)


7. The durability of the material with the cup is representative of the perceived durability of your relationship. How durable is crystal? I guess I should of said it was made out of titanium


8. What you did with the cup is representative of your attitude. ummm.... I picked it up and put it in the dishwasher... What does that mean? I'm used to picking up after kids?

9. The size of the body of water is representative of the size of your sexual desire. Or.... my desire to go fishing anytime I want?

10. The way you cross the water is representative to how easy or hard you expect your life to be. I crossed in a canoe... what does that mean?
