Summer Soccer

It was so great to see many of my students at their last soccer game at Hanson Field last night.  They were having so much fun and displayed amazing teamwork!

Hansel Gretel and Fred


Hansel, Gretel and Fred
June 28, 2013
This group of students has worked so hard on putting this performance together.  They definitely have grown as a group J
It began with choosing a story and then a character.  Next, each student needed to “become the story/character” to build an understanding of the play.  After they had built the relationship with their character then it was time to set up the stage.  All of the students had fun making their own sets and props for the play and I think choosing their costumes gave them a sense of ownership and pride in themselves

Finally we put it all together.  Lots of practice and then more practice until they truly believed in themselves and the story.  Take a look at their adventure!
