Congratulations to Webster Elementary's third grade students on an outstanding performance of The Boy Who Spoke to the Earth this afternoon!
The story, based on a book by Chris Burkard and David McClellen, is about a a boy who can talk to the earth. He goes on a magical journey through the earth's many landforms to find happiness. Adapted from the book, the show was written by Webster music teacher Jennifer Bhooshan, along with Katie Brown and Rachel Puleo.
Mrs. Bhooshan said the show's elements were created by the students. They chose songs, created movements and provided input on everything in the production.
During the performance, the third graders played instruments, including drums and small xylophones. They provided narration, sang songs and performed synchronized movements representing areas on earth from oceans to mountaintops.
