Mrs. Male’s class, week of January 12, 2015
13 COLONIES PLAY- On Thursday we begin rehearsals and our practice includes basic theater etiquette like focusing attention and respect on
the actors who 'have the stage' or the student director who is leading a performance notes session. There will be grades, rewards and consequences
associated with these life skills as we progress through the next few weeks. If you by chance have some specific clothing items that you no longer
need, we are looking for:
- black/dark brown flat or low heeled boots - long ladies' skirts (stripes, florals, paisleys translate well to colonial times) - vests of any color or
style - ruffled or lacy shirts red or blue or black blazers. If you have any of these items you are willing to donate or lend, please send them in
with your child, with thanks! If you have time to help supervise rehearsal groups at 2:30-3:20pm any day starting next week, please contact me.
Parents are welcome to attend our performance - We are tentatively scheduled to perform on Thursday OR Friday, January 29 or 30, at 10:30am-ish.
Also look for opportunities to volunteer in the classroom that week - a flyer with finalized schedule will come home sometime this week - stay
tuned!
