Hanny, Yessica and Francys. Great job giving me a mental picture of the show and some other "funny" staff. All three of you got 10 extra points and Hanny, you should start thinking about bringing your own lunch to the field trips... and some guandule con pescado para min tambien ;) just kidding (I think)
PPD
well...what can i say about the show? it was good in the begining when there was people jumping a rope that was really cool because they are relly good jumping that rope and the when ms. Moreno step son started to dance tap with the other they are really cool because is amazing to see haw fast they do that. but the most kool was when ms. Prieto was sleeping and when all the people clapped she woke up and she clapped too but she did not see the show a i dont why she clapped if she did not see that part of the show.

mr.deley the show was kind of cool because some part where borring the cooler part was when they where taping their shose to the plant and doing a nice dance (the solia boys dance)=rapers
and when they where fighting the giant rat in the chrismas show but and the part i like more was when they where dancing in the (aro the is a circule)because one fat girld did't know how to dance it so the (aro)was fealing from her. (LOL)
Well in the nutcracker play the thing that I enjoyed the most are many first that: My friends and I been making joke, and we had a great time together. Secondly, the opening was cool because of the tap and the jumping dance;it was very exciting, imagine that you are the one who is jumping up there. Finally, it was very funny when the teachers fell sleep in the half of the play.
It was a beautiful experience for me,because I have the pleasure for see it by the second time and share with my old and new friends.
The nutcracker was about a dream that a girl have with the nutcracker but them a bad rats that doesn't like the nutcracker wanted to kill him; and the others can't dream in the fantasy world of the nutcracker...And I don't know how to explain it so much ..
Kehidy Rivera.
Mr.Dilley can you please send me all the homeworks of your class and at least from English too and if you can that tell one of my friends that have computer that send me the homeworks by email ... this is my email.. kehidy_1307@hotmail.com or post it into your page ... Thank you so much ... bye see you in two weeks ...
Jean, I am glad that you enjoyed the show. Thank you for sharing the experience with me. I have never been to the Urban Nutcracker, but I went to the other Nutcracker on Friday.
Kehidy,
Thanks for sharing your experience with the blog. Which year did you enjoy the most? Last year's show or this year's? I am emailing you the English homework that Ms. Johnson sent me. I will also be emailing you with the social studies assignments and keep an eye open for the online question that I will be posting on Tuesday.
Have fun!
Mr.Dilley:
The show was coOl i really liked but the best part for me was the beginning because it was a dance and all those street stuff and it was kinda funny.
But we all had a good time because it was a really good act but not for some teachers that felt sleep and Mr.Lopez told us that he saw the show but when we asked him about it he said that he had his eyes closed!! yeahhh!...
My experience in the Urban Nutcracker was excellent because i had never seen an act like that and the dances were very original and interesting.
To conclude i hope to go again to the Urban Nutcracker but with all different stuff!

The urban nucracker was a good experience,was fun, beautiful,interesting etc.......
Therefore everything was wondelful, in the show you can see people dancing alot but it was diffents kinds of dance that only one that I think i know is the punta because our culture is danced tip,i think so because i know that in my country they dance tip, but i don't know how do it , the only thing that i know is that danced with the tip of the feet.The whole show ws great but i call the attention was when MS.Moreno son he was a dancing tango or something like that, but he was doing a exelent gob.Finally i said that they are a excelens authors,whole show was great, i have no more words to describe how great the show was.

Mr. Dilley the Urban Nutcracker was nice one reason is because at the beginning of the show Ms. Moreno’s step son was competing whit a gay an the gay dance Soldier Boy the two were dancing flamenco after that they were showing us a little girl in Christmas then her cousins when to her house for Christmas night the little girls were dancing ballet then they pause and a man came in then he give the little girl a toy after all that the toy was alive then the men sit her in a chair and many people were dancing for her .
At the end of the show all the people who dance were in a line .
Mr. Dilley this is all what I remember.
Ariana,
You remembered a lote! You made me feel like I was in the show. I think you meant guy (man).
Nice Job

What i enjoy more in the urban nutcracker was the tap dancing and the doble dogde at the start.
The experience was very good because i hgad never saw that before, the dancing and the acting.
The urban nutcracker was a show dancing differents kinds of steps like the tap or the christmas dancing.
By: Andy Herrera
The show was really fun at first couple of kids started dancing while playing double Dutch. the lights were off, it was really quiet. Second thing was 2 persons tap dancing one of them was Ms. Moreno's family (Isaac). They were doing the soulja boy dance, and then little kids were doing a show where there was the nutcracker, it was awesome 2 magicians came and one of them was kind of crazy, there was snow falling all over the place. The 3rd part I didn’t like it that much it was bored I was impressed though because the girls were standing on their foot….they were dancing bale. There as a boy going in circles with his head I was like oh my god…. And last we were taking pictures in the stage with Isaac. So it was really fun.
Sincerely: Curls Brea
THE SHOW WAS REALLY COOL BECAUSE WE WERE LOOKING ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO WERE DANCING AND EVERYTHING..! IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL EXPERIENCE FOR ME BECAUSE I LEARN MANY THING ABOUT CHRISTMAS..! THE URBAN NUTCRACKER IS ABOUT A DOLL THAT A GIRL HAS AND IT BROKE AND SHE WAS SAD..!
