It was a full Friday! We went to the Puppetry Jam/26th Annual Performing Arts Festival For Children at the Mississippi Agriculture and Forestry Museum
I tried to take pictures but the lighting was a little tricky so here's the best I could do!
The kids got to hear some great story telling and even participate in a few of the acts! The learned "Oh! Susanna" from Sherman Lee Dillon. Then they moved on to enjoy some juggling, balloon creations, and silly jokes for Inky the Clown He was an amazing juggler and the kids really got a kick out of his bowling ball juggling act! He even had some magic tricks up his sleeve. One of my favorite quote was, "Sit criss cross banana split, or whatever you call it!"
The final stop was the dance and puppetry exhibit. We had another very talented story teller, Rosia Crisler, and then a dance crew teach some African.
And yes, you guessed it, they wanted the teachers to come on stage and learn the routine! Since I'm the student teacher, and the dancer....I had to go up there :). I survived and the kids were excited! The puppet crew after had a very unique presentation that followed. It was a very fun event and the kids really enjoyed it!
We finished the day watching The Lorax and making our oreo moons!
