What's happening in K-4 Drama!

Students in Kindergarten and First Grade have been exploring the concepts of dramatic movement and observation this month in drama class.  We began by playing several games which emphasized physical control and spatial awareness.  Then we began to focus on of awareness and observation.  The students have been using different senses, mostly sight and hearing, to complete challenges and succeed at games.

In Second Grade Drama classes we have been working on teamwork.  All of the games and activities have emphasized different aspects of teamwork and encouraged the students to work cooperatively.

Students in Third Grade have been studying the art of pantomime acting, that is acting with making any vocal sounds or using any props.  The students learned the basic qualities of good pantomime acting and have since been applying these qualities to communicating effectively in pantomime.  They have completed several challenges and created wonderful pantomime scenes.

Fourth Grade students have also been practicing their pantomime acting at a more advanced level.  These students are solving more advanced dramatic challenges and creating more detailed scenes all without speaking.

This year has gotten off to a great start!  I can't believe it's almost November already!  I'm having so much fun teaching and learning from your children every day.
