Diagonal Large Group State Speech Diagonal High School took an improvisational acting group to the State Speech Contest in Waukee on February 8th and brought home an overall Division 2 rating, which is considered very good. Performers were Junior Lydia Hoffman; Sophomores Ashlynn Allee and Kylie Hubbard; and Freshmen Cadance Shiflett and Jaylynn Doolittle. Coach Pam Hoffman says, “The group draws 3 situations and then they have 2 minutes to decide which situation to use and plan their strategy. Then they have up to 5 minutes to perform it. Our team performed Getting Lost in a Magical Forest. These kids are not afraid to go from any sporting event to a live performance in the blink of an eye!”

Here’s an inside look into what first grade has been up to lately: Last week, the kids were hard at work making a “1st Grade Thanksgiving Cookbook.” We first talked about what our favorite things are to eat at Thanksgiving, then discussed how recipes are written in steps/an order (which is similar to our informational texts that we have been looking at during reading) and is an example of how-to writing. The kids came up with their recipes and drew a picture to go along with it. Each 1st grader is going home with their own copy! 🦃🥧🍂
