Week 35: More Shakespeare!

We are about two weeks away from the dress rehearsal and performance of our play on June 13! Students had been studying their lines and coming off book. The next goal is to slow down and act out the meaning of the words. Please encourage your child to rehearse daily.

We want to thank Mr. Weeks (Sasha S's dad) for coming in to share his expertise on acting! It gave our students a new perspective on what the acting process is like.

Here's what is happening next week:

  • The Science Performance Test will continue next week up to Friday. 
  • We have Shakespeare rehearsals on Tuesday and Thursday. Please remind your child to bring in their script (even if they have their lines memorized).
  • We will work with Katy Dement, The Paper Lady who is coming to help our students make set decoration for our play on Thursday and Friday. This can be messy work so please have your child dress accordingly. 
  • On Friday, we will work on decorating our costumes. Large t-shirts have been purchased for each child and sewn into garments that resemble the tunics of Ancient Athens. We are planning to decorate with fabric markers, paint, and appliqués at 8:50- 9:55. There are four parent volunteers and if you can come in to help, it would be great! 
Have a wonderful, long Memorial Day weekend!
