I have been locked out of my blog account and haven't been able to access it, but for some reason it opened like a charm today when I tried! It may be something with the school server!
I have so much news to share with you. First, we've been working on a character study unit with K and 1st grade. They have watched clips from Disney's "The Little Mermaid" and Disney's "Aladdin" on broadway and taken a closer look at two characters from those shows - Ursula and the Genie. Ask your kids to tell you some of the words we used to describe those characters! We also talked about ourselves, how we change and adapt our character traits based on our environment and what is happening to us on a daily basis. Check out the clip of the Genie and Aladdin on the Tony awards below.
2nd and 3rd grade are currently working on performing a readers theater play called "The Halloween Hustle" in class. They're getting experience with acting and directing. We will perform our scenes for each other this week and next.
4th and 5th are finishing up a readers theater unit as well. 4th grade has worked on the play "Pocahontas: Between Two Worlds" as a connection to social studies and 5th has worked on "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The students in both grades will be acting our specific scenes for each other this week as well.
