The 5th Graders at STES celebrated the end of Module 2 and The Phantom Tollbooth with a Royal Banquet which was adapted from a scene in the novel. Students further celebrated the wordplay learned in the Module by dressing up and participating in a "Pun Parade" through the school. Students dressed as "Head in the Clouds", "Break a Leg", "Eyes in the Back of Your Head", "Raining Cats and Dogs" to name a few. The 5th grade teachers all dressed as characters from the novel - The Princesses Rhyme and Reason, The Mathemagician and Dr. Discord were all represented! Parents really were the heroes of the day making the vision come to life!
