Cooperative Summer School: Drama!

You might remember that last year we did a Self Expression & Storytelling class as well the photos from the event. This year, Elien hosted again and stuck to the winning lesson plan from last year.

Hi Everyone,

Drama class was a lot of fun with your young actors. The kids had shown great attitudes and teamwork throughout the day. We had a whopping 14 kids that day ranging from age 2 to 8. They had a great time playing "Junior Kids Charades," making up their own group skits, putting on costumes and make-up (the boys went for mohawks and lots of hair goop).

During lunch and recess kids dined on pasta, salad and other snacks, and had a fun time with water games outside and yes inside...(this was not planned). At least my house looked like they had a great time=) Sam (Nicole and Jake's Mom) took lots of pics and will be posted at a later time.

Thank you so much to Sam and Heidi for assisting with the class. Wow was your help needed! I don't know about either one of you but after everyone left, I laid on my couch and stared off in space until Ralph came home from work; at least that's how he found me.

Thanks so much for sharing your kids with me. I hope to share Noah with all of you as well =)

At the end of class, parents were invited to come see the kids perform. I haven't had a chance to see Sam's photos yet, but can share with you the pictures from the two plays. One was from the younger crowd and consisted of a storyline involving cats who have a magic wand, kids at the park and some parents who are clueless. The big kids did a show about a bully who gets scared into being nice. Below are some of my favorites from the performances.
