BES fifth-graders perform "Alice’s Adventures with Idioms"

Body
In the first of a series of musicals to be presented at the Texas Crown Performance Hall, Baker Elementary School fifth-graders performed Alice’s Adventures with Idioms, to a receptive crowd of family and friends last Thursday morning. The performers are the students of Alexandra Phenix, BES music teacher. Alice’s Adventures offers an entertaining educational approach to figurative language, focusing on idioms and similes—with some special appearances by metaphors and alliteration. It begins with Alice, accompanied by her cat and dog, falling down the rabbit hole and arriving in the land of idioms. The lessons are all presented by Wonderland characters, like the White Rabbits, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Mad Hatter and March Hare, the Cheshire Cat, and the King and Queen of Hearts. Alice’s Adventures with Idioms was written by Mike Fishell and John Heath.
