    The finale and the streamers and the fitness ladders were the bomb. It was the best gym show ever. The woza was the best thing in the gym show. Thank you to all the people who helped on the gym show includingMrs.Pratt,Mrs.Whynott,Mrs.Wilson,Mrs.Mcminn,Mrs.Henderson. It was so much fun to be in.

    Every part of the gym show was a blast.(Except the part when we had to pretend we were making snow angels on the ground. that was a bit embaressing……)

    I loved being in the Gym Show. It was an amazing experience. I will always remember it. My favorite part was dancing to Woza, an African can dance that our music teacher, Mrs. McMinn brought back from her trip to Africa. I think the kids loved the gym show!! During the parachute act, the kids were going, “Whoa!” and “Awesome!”.

    I would like to thank my music teacher, Mrs. McMinn for all of the help remembering the songs! I would also like to thank the FFHSA for buying us our multi-colored “Jungle Fever” shirts for us to wear. Also, I would like to thank my gym teacher, Mrs. Pratt for all the practice for the Gym Show throughout the 5 years we’ve been here. Also, I would like to thank our art teachers, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Whynott for making the animal posters on the walls.

    Thank you for all the work and help, and for a wonderful experience. :)

    Holy smokes the gym show was aaaawwwwwsome!!! The best part was that I was in it! Our music teacher went to Africa over the summer and brought back a dance called woza. Woza is a dance where you hold two soda cans in your hands by the ends and bang them together(not just randomly banging). If you heard it for real you would be AMAZED!! Our art teacher helped alot by making alot of things. Mostly mypoint is

    IT WAS AWSOME!!

    I loved that all the kids were something in the finale.I thought that the parachute and the animals on the parachute were great.Although I though that jungle boogie was weird.

    I want to thank Mrs. McMinn, and Mrs. Pratt .
    They spent a lot of time that they could of been planning thier class schedules planning the gym show. I’d also like to thank Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Henderson, and Mrs. Whynott for the amzingly wonderful wildlife posters that they made. All the props were great and the scenes were awesome from my point of view. So thanks to all the participants for such a great show!!!

    I had a fantabulous time, at the fifth grade gym show! My favorite part was probably the gymnastics,(because I was in it, and because I had a spendid time!). The song gymanstics went to was “You’ll Be In My Heart”, from the animated film “Tarzan”. My favorite song was “The Monkees”, because the beat and rythym was so hyped up! I also really liked “Crocodile Rock” because the genre and beat of the song, really brought alot of enthusiasm to the gym!
    I want to thank Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Henderson, The HSA, Mrs.McMinn, Mrs.Whynott, and Mrs.Pratt! Great job at cordinating, “Woza”! The drum beat in the song really brought “Africa life”, into the gym! The “Woza dance” was so much fun! I liked when we went through each others legs with the cans!
    Thanks again!

    My favorte part of the gym show was the fitniss ladders.Or maby the soft ball part.The handstand contest was so cool.Speical thanks to Mrs Pratt and Mrs Micmin.

  10.   Sandra 5G on October 29th, 2008

    I liked doing Woza with the cans because I was in somtheing different and fun that not many people knew about. I also loved the songs and the theme of it. I realy liked this year’s gym show!

  11.   Jessica 5-G on October 29th, 2008

    This experiance is very memerable to all of the 5th graders. It took many people to put it all together and I want to congradulate them on that. My favorite part of this Gym Show was the WOZA people that went on. I personally didn’t do this dance, but i enjoyed watching them. I feel honored to be able to partisipate in the finale with all the wild animals and with me being the giraffe. All of us were having a wonderful time singing and dancing with hard work, but it was worth it. I wanted to thank Ms. Pratt, Ms Mcminn, Ms. Henderson,Ms wilson and Ms. Whynott for doing all the work and putting it all together. They did a spectacular job doing this. Finally, the 5th grade for trying so hard and having such an succesful show to remember. Thank everyone and it was great!

    The Federal Furnace gym show was well done.Woza, the African can dance, was awesome. It looked like the little kids loved it! The colors of the shirts matched our theme (Jungle Fever) very well.FFHSA bought our stylish T’s. The music was really cool and went along with the theme.

    I would like to say thank you to the art teachers, Mrs.Whynott and Mrs.Willson for making the animal posters, our gym teacher, Mrs.Pratt for working hard to make this a great gym show, and our Music teacher, Mrs.McMinn for helping us with the music and so much more. The teachers also helped a lot in letting us take the time to practice for the gym show.

    My favorite song in the show was probably Africa.In the gymnastics routine to You’ll Be In My Heart was really cool because my friend Karen and I did a double roll. This was a gym show I will never forget.(:

  13.   chris5g on October 29th, 2008

  15.   alexis5g on October 29th, 2008

    I liked doing the gymshow. I liked singing the songs to each song. It was fun doing the WOZA dance. And I like doing cartwheels. It’s way better having a audience and I say that decause we are usualy practicing our gym show. I hope everyone enjoys watching it. I thank Mrs.Pratt, Mrs.Willson, Mrs.Mcminn, and last but not least Mrs.Henderson for bringing the whole show together. Everyone loves gymshows watching or really doing a gym show. I hope everyone enjoys watching it.

  16.   alex on October 29th, 2008

    The whole gym was greate. I think Woza was the best part!

  17.   Mallory5-g on October 29th, 2008

    I had so much fun in every act I was in, even singing in the chorus! My favorite act was definately woza. It was so upbeat and everyone thought we were professional! I thought the funniest thing was when Ms. Ball’s class threw all of the blow-up animals onto the parachute and all the kindergarteners and second graders yelled in aw like it was the coolest thing in the world! Thank you to everyone who helped or supported our 5th grade gym show!

  18.   Cjg on October 29th, 2008

    There was a lot I liked about the gym show ever. My part in it where the streamers. But the Woza dance was realy cool to.

  19.   Stephanie 5-G on October 29th, 2008

    I had a very exiting time doing the gym show. I was in the gymmnastis act and I loved mirroring my partner. I found it very relaxing. The finale was fantastic. The WOZA dance was my favorite part. It was full of action and it shows a great culture. I found it intersting because it showed me a lot more about different cultures in the world. I found out more about the culture I saw before the gym show. I would like to thank the people who put effort into our gym show to make our gym show remberable. Our gym show wouldn’t be as good if one less person helped

  20.   kelsie 5-G on October 29th, 2008

    Thank you to all the people that put together the gym show.I loved doing all the acts.I loved the streamers and the nerfballs.I also thought the parachute was exciting to.Thank you also to mrs.Greenwood for clearing your schedule to fit all the rehersals.

  21.   Joseph.D on October 29th, 2008

    The gym show was the best thing I have experienced! The best part was the WOSA dance. We collected cans, empted them and started dancing. The croud was going wild. I would also give thanks to all the people that helped to make this gym show happened.

    THANK YOU!!!!!

  22.   Karen 5-G on October 29th, 2008

    This gym show was very hard work to plan and create. The theme was Jungle Fever. I really want to give a great thanks to Mrs. Pratt, Mrs. McMinn, Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Whynott, and Mrs. Henderson for all they put in to make this gym show spectacular and successful. I also want to thank all the 5th grade teachers for making this possible. My favrite part of the gym show was the finale because I got to partisapate in it as a zebra and lots of my friends were in it to. Another fun part was Woza because it was the first time I ever joined into an african can dance. I put in a lot of effort to the gymshow and so did everyone else so I hope my audience loved it! I had alot of solos in the show like when I do a doubble roll with Abby. There was a disopointment in the end for me because I lost the handstand contest but at least I tried my best. The hardest part about the gym show was having the 5th grade line up before we entered the gym because there were so many people to line up. The gym show was one of the best expirences in my whole time at Federal Furnace and so I hope the 5th grade festivle is too. I hope YOU like the awesome performance too!
