Visualization and Actions

Lights, Camera, ACTION!

The kids are all reading a play this week for guided reading. Each student has a part in one of four plays. We are encouraging the kids to not just stand up and recite their lines, but to create ACTION with their words in the story. I think they got a pretty good laugh when I was trying to do some demonstrations of acting out one of the plays.

So enjoy the plays as a family at home, get brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandma and grandpa, cousins, etc. involved. Create your own family plays and enjoy being a different character from a story. I am really looking forward to seeing all of the kids perform their plays on Friday. Today they did a great job of writing down some actions they should see themselves doing, and I hope they come home as excited. I did tell them they could create props or costumes if they wanted to. Nothing over the top, something simple, and fun to portray their characters.

The most important part.....HAVE FUN!
