Art With Ms. Tish:
Today, we worked with clay. After we finished with our clay, we placed them on the practice mural we made the day before. We each had to strategically place or clay models onto the paper because we would need to create our own story. We all took turns telling our part of the story. Your part of the story was about your clay model, and it had to be a smooth and flowing story. My favorite part of today's activity was working with the clay. I thought that this was alot of fun because when we were building with the clay, we were talking and giggling about everything; like what our clay models looked like before they were done, and what they could be. The part that I found challenging was when we had to make up the story about all of our models that we had placed on our mural. In Ms. Tish's lesson, we took turns but we each had the freedom to say more than one sentence. The way that I am used to playing is where we go around in a circle, each of us only aloud to say one word. I think we should have done it that way because it is much more fun. Also because it gets people talking more, and by the end of the story we realize how silly and funny the it sounded.
2nd Day With Explorer Elementary:
The fairy tale that I chose to fracture is Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I chose this fairy tale because it is my favorite fairy tale, and I know the story very well. Also, I thought it would be easiest to fracture. Thankfully, I had no complaints coming from my Explorer buddies about the fairy tale that I chose. One of my Explorer buddies suggested that instead of there being one person and three bears, there should be one bear, and three people. They also thought that the setting should be in a house in New York City. The feedback was sort of helpful, but their ideas weren't as far out as I was hoping. We're kind of changing the charactors around, but we are more just turning it around backwards. We are also going to change the setting, the conflict, and the resolution. I had fun today with my Explorer buddies. I enjoyed reading the original fairy tale to them- and let me tell you; the questions never stopped coming! Overall, I thought today's session went well.

I'm glad your Explorer buddies were in agreement with your fairy tale choice. That's too bad that the feedback was not as helpful for you. Maybe as you begin to work together more they'll come up with some more of those outrageous details. In the future, having some ideas of your own or questions to prompt them may get them going a little, just like when they were asking you a ton of questions.
