The Little Prince Review By Raphaela

One of this month's reviews is the Little Prince, which was put on by the Marin Theatre Company. They were kind enough to invite the sixth grade to come and see the play. For those who do not yet know it is about a prince who came down to earth from another planet and tells a stranded Aviator about his adventure through space and his home that he had left.The story was originally a book by Antoine de saint-Exupery, who like the aviator in the production was also a pilot. The little prince was  acted by Elissa Beth Stebbins, the pilot was played by Geno Monteiro, the Snake and rose were by Isabelle Ellingson and the fox and the men on the other planets were by Lizzie Calogero.

I personally enjoyed watching the performance but the ending might bring tears to your eyes. I thought that it was very well acted and that it was cleverly written. Even though it only played in the theatre from december twelfth to the twentieth. I think that anyone who would watch it would love the production.

The Word: April By Odessa

What do you think of when you hear the word April? Do you think of spring and newly blooming flowers or do you think about April Fool's Day and the pranks? April originally used to be the second month of the year, still following March, of the Roman calendar year. But it became the fourth month around 450 BCE with only 29 days. But when Pope Gregory created the Gregorian calendar in 1582, he changed it to 30 days of April. There are several theories about the etymology of April, the first is that April, came from aperire which means ‘to open’ in Latin. A second theory is that April was named after the Greek goddess of love and beauty, “Aphrodite”. Or another theory that Jacob Grimm, a famous linguist, though was that there was a god or hero named Aper or Aprus April is actually National Humor Month as well as Mathematics Awareness Month and National Poetry Month. April is a wonderful month, we get the chance to fully appreciate spring.
