The challenge for Rising Stars this year focused on Architecture and Structure, News Reporting, Research, Mathmematics, Performing in front of an audience, and Team problem solving. The teams were required to create a structure using only newspaper and tape and to create a newscast and commercial to perform at the competition. Brendan's team created a coffee table and performed their newscast beautifully!
They also participated in the Instant Challenge which gives the students a scenario, 5 minutes to prepare and 1 minute to present. Brendan told us his had something to do with monkeys running the school and he thought it was very funny!
Emery even behaved herself!
This evening they had the award ceremony. Rising Stars (for Kindergarten through second grade) is non-competitive but the students participate in a parade in front of the older participants and the kids loved it!
