International Epcot Fashion Show

Last Sunday, our class performed at our school. Everyone came. WE also had a food court and sections we can to like China, Japan and Russia. When I came to the classroom, I wasn’t scared at all. Finally, when we did our practice dance, I was a little nervous to dance our parents and Miss Lou’s friends. But I wasn’t alone because I was dancing with my friends. At last, when it was the real thing I was so excited. So when the boys did their part we were late for our part so I was worried. Good thing nobody noticed. At the end when we were done, Miss Lou treated us to ice cream because it was really hot. At that very end, I went home having a smile on my face.

Claudia

Last Saturday, our class performed in front of lots of people. First, I arrived to school with my parents. I felt excited to perform in front of lots of people. Then, my mom helped me to fix my costume. Miss Lou took off my ponytails and she redid it was cute. Finally, we were going to perform. We waited outside to perform. We got up the stage and we performed. I had lots of fun. The best part was the performance. That is my best day of school We got into the classroom and watched a movie and we ate ice cream. I think our class did hard work.

Last Saturday, our class performed at the International Epcot Fashion Show! First, I went to school with Emma, Andrew and my mom. My dad came later. Miss Lou let us to into the classroom. She said “We are act two.” Miss Lou’s friend came to the classroom. They get help us fix our costume. We performed the galaxy dance to the lovely parents. I think the girls are fairies and the boys are warriors. My mom took pictures of the costumes and lost of people. Finally, it was our turn to go up stage! I felt scared because there were bees. When we finishes ed we got ice cream. While, we were eating ice cream we watched Avator the Last Airbender. My mom and I went out to play. When we came back to the classroom, everyone was gone. WE picked up Emma and Andrew. We played a lot. The, we went home.

Last Saturday, our class performed at school on a stage. First, I arrived at school with my parents. I felt nervous when I was performing in front of all the audience. Then, when I was done performing, I felt much better. I sent home. I loved the concert.

Stephen

Two days ago, it was the Enternational Epcot Fashion Show. I was dressed in a dark, blue robe. Jonathan wasn’t there so I would be the first to walk on stage without Jonathan. Nathan was funny because he was the galaxy. Alexander needed a lot of energy to carry the fake cardboard sun. There were also a lot of people watching us. I saw my mom. I made Felicia a shield, but she didn’t use it. It was a waste of cardboard. On the stage, there were wires. We used Star Wars as our first song. Then, we used Cosmic Girl as our second. After the show, we went back to the classroom. I felt tired. Good thing that Miss Lou gave us ice cream.

Andrew

Title: Old King

Once upon a time, there was a young king named, “King Barfu.” Many years passed. Barfu needed a successor. Who could it be? Since Barfu loved books, he tol his knight to say, “Whoever makde the silliest book or the happiest book could be king.” Everyone wanted to be worthy. A boy named Dong was working on his book. He worked and worked. Finally it was the day. The knights said, “The king will be Dong!” Dong was ashamed to be up there. It was the biggest march. Dong was happy.

Angela's Brother

What Event were these pictures from?



Silly Galaxy

Here is Nathan trying to act very, very serious as the Galaxy of the world, but I think he wants so much to smile. Alexander, on the otherhand, is doing a better job NOT smiling. However, I think it is because Alexander is too tired carrying the sun.

Thanks Nathan's mom for giving us this cute, cute and SILLY picture of our costumes.

Thank you for always visiting me and thinking of us. I miss having you in my class. You were always a hard worker. I still cannot believe you can hula TWO hoops and clap wooden sticks together! Will you hula and juggle with fire next year? Hmm...I can't wait to find out...

Miss Lou

A Cosmic Kid Fashion Designer!

Come out and join us at school for the International Epcot Fashion Show on Saturday, June 3rd from 11:30-4:30. There will be food, costume displays, live music and the fashion show will be from 1:00-2:30!


Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Parents, grandparents, friends and Star Wars maniacs...Are you ready to explore to a new world? Are ready to journey into a universe that is bigger than ever? This culture is bigger than our city. It is bigger than our 50 states combined, more grand than any country and it even lies beyond the planet earth. So put on your astronaut suits and your imagination and let us take you on a fabulous ride through space.

Are you ready?

With our thinking caps and astronaut suits, Miss Lou and her second grade fashion designers have journeyed far out into outer space to research the designs of the future. From what we saw with our eyes, heard with our ears and felt with our creative hands, we recreated what the fashion our cosmic world would wear.

We are wearing bright colors - red, orange and yellow to represent each of our planets and stars. Black, gray and blue comes from the moons, asteroids, milky ways, the black hole and the dark, dark space. Reflective foil is used to protect us from toxic beams and the brightness of the sun's rays. The soft fabric helps us glide through space with ease and comfort. What do you think?

Together, Room 401 kids we learned how to sew, cut, glue, and paint-just to bring to you the fashion of the future from a galaxy far, far away!

For the first time ever,....here is Room 401's Cosmic Kids Fashion!
The design of the future!

Kids Under Construction...

Oh yeah! We are learning how to sew with thread and needle. Suchi is doing this all on her own, can you believe it?
"What are you painting, Nathan?" asked Miss Gilbert.
Nathan looked up. "I think it is the Black Hole."

We are having so much fun designing, but it's hard work! Alexander needs lots of help from his friends. Stephen, Claudia, Darien and a few others have been helping him paint and glue his gigantic sun star below...

Uh-oh. We ran out of yellow paint, but Miss Lou suggested that we cover the rest of the cardboard with fabric.
What are we going to make? We like to ask others for help and suggestions. "What are you going to do, Kelvin?" asked Felicia. Hmm...what else could I add?

Arvind is making lots of accessories to protect him from the toxic beams and the bright rays of the sun.

All this designing takes a LOT of colored fabric, aluminum foil, buttons, glue, cardboard and even more creative BRAIN POWER!

Wish us cosmic luck!

We can do it!!!
