Bravo, First Grade!

Posted on by

They did it!  The Kindergarten and first grade students presented our play, “Ordinary Mary and Ordinary Jerry’s Extraordinary Deed” to the school and a parent audience today.  They remembered their lines, sang the songs, and acted their parts with great success.  I’ll let their work speak for itself with some videos:

I want to thank Mrs. Delwiche for partnering with me on this project.  We also owe a huge thanks to Ms. Abrams for painting the sets, Mrs. Markstrum for helping with the music, and Mr. Surber and Ms. Stark for their help with the sound.  Here’s a link to Mrs. Delwiche’s blog, where you can find some additional footage:

Important Play Information

Posted on by

Welcome back from Spring Break!  Here is a quick and important update with information about our class play:

  • The play will be performed on Tuesday, April 25th.  We will perform for the other classes during Tecolote Tuesday, at 8:20.  The parent performance is scheduled for that afternoon at 2:00, followed by a cast party.  You are welcome to join us for any and all of these activities.
  • Please have your student practice his or her lines nightly.   We would like everyone to have their lines as close to memorized as possible by next week.  This can take the place of regular reading this week.  This week is also a great opportunity to memorize lines, as there is no spelling this week.
  • Please send the script to school every day until your child has his or her lines memorized. We will send it home each night for practice.  If you need another copy, you can download one by clicking the “Useful Documents” link at the top of this page, or you can send me an email.
  • We will send home information about costumes soon.  They will be very basic and will likely consist of things you already own or can easily borrow.

THANK YOU so much for your help and support with this undertaking!
