We've been really busy in drama class since school started, and I can't believe we are already almost half way through our drama year! As is evidenced by the slide show, First Grade has been busy acting out stories in a variety of ways. So far we have made puppets for the story of Little Red Riding Hood, talked about setting with The Old Lady who Swallowed the Trout and The Mitten, practiced math and counting by creating our own addition and subtraction plays and acting out the book, One Was Johnny, practiced stealth and sneaking so we could be better ninjas than, Wink, The Ninja Who Wanted to be Noticed and created characters from The Three Billy Goats Gruff! Reading books can be a lot of fun, but acting out the adventures the characters have is even more fun! Many of these books are available in our school library. Maybe you want to check them out and let your first grader show you how to "dive into" a good story!
