Jedi Training

It was our good fortune today that Mr. Castell brought in  his father's light saber to share with us. All of the children were very excited to see it light up. The children practiced the virtue of patience when they had to wait for the teachers to get things set up for this play experience.

First we spent some time to create our own light saber. We used  some rolled up paper, tape, and markers.

Then, to avoid the chaos, we split up our groups.  When working with the ladybugs, (the younger children) it really looked like the scene out of the third Star Wars movie where Anakin becomes evil (ha ha ha).

Once it was the dragonflies, (the older children's) turn we were able to get something more organized going.  Now that everyone had their own light-saber we could do some Jedi training.  After a long tiresome battle verses Mr. Castell, everyone was promoted to official DCC Jedi Master.
