Working on the backdrop for The Mayflower.
We spent some time planning, drawing, and hanging our backdrops for the Thanksgiving Plays. It was a group effort!
We will be performing the same three plays on Tuesday, November 25th in the morning at 9:15 and the afternoon at 1:30. Our plays are short so please be on time and don’t forget to check in at the office.
Researching the Pilgrims!
Students were busy researching how the Pilgrims lived. They learned about the Pilgrim children’s chores, school, homes, and food. The children will be writing about what they learned in an informational piece of writing.
The PTA sponsored Book Fair is coming up next week. We will be attending the book fair on Wednesday afternoon. It is always so hard to choose a book. There are so many good ones!
It’s Play Time!
It is Thanksgiving Play time!! We will be practicing three Thanksgiving plays this week and next week. The kids are doing a great job already! We are working on projecting our voices and reading with expression. We will be performing our plays on Tuesday, November 25 at 9:15 and 1:30. I will send a reminder home on the 24th.
We are also learning and writing about what life was like for the Pilgrims and how different it was from life today.
I am lucky to have such a talented bunch!
