WINTER CLASSES

​

The Sneetches, Homeschool (Grades 1-5)

Tuesdays, 1:30-2:30 pm | $300 | Teaching Artist: Stacie Doherty

When the Fix-It-Up Chappie appears and offers the Sneetches without stars the chance to get them with his Star-On machine, the treatment is instantly popular. But the original Star-Bellied Sneetches don’t want to lose their special status. The Fix-It-Up Chappie has a solution for this problem, too–his Star-Off machine. As the trouble and chaos escalates, the Sneetches run from one machine to the next until neither the Plain nor the Star-Bellies know whether this one was that one... or that one was this one… or which one was what one... or what one was who!

Kilmer Watts is a piano teacher, but when automatic pianos arrive in town, he’s out of a job. The poem factory is hiring and he decides to investigate―how are poems made, anyway? At the factory, Kilmer learns how to operate the “meter meter” and empty the “cliché bins.” He assembles new poems by picking out rhyme schemes, sprinkling in similes and adding alliteration. Unfortunately, one day the machines malfunction–will poetry survive?
