puppet show
June 9, 2009
Would you believe that my son performed in a puppet show today - not only did he do this without a hitch but he was just awesome! This is just one example of why I love this school so much. Over the past two weeks, they made their puppets with paper maiche and all kinds of fabric scraps and decorations. They decided on what characters they wanted to be in the show and made their puppets accordingly but seemed to have lots of artistic freedom! They practiced their lines. For 1st graders to be able to make their own puppets, hide behind a table, know when it is their turn, read and say their lines into a microphone, peform their puppets with their hands and all this in front of an audience - it was amazing. They were all so cute and some were very animated. My son wasn’t very animated - more robotic in reading his lines - but, he was, afterall playing the role of a geologist - I don’t know how animated geologists are anyway!
At one point in the play, they each had made up their own dinosaur name - so for example, if their name was Wendy then their dinosaur name was Wendy-osaurus. My son knows his full name is his first, middle and last name. So, he HAD to say his osaurus name and add his last name at the end. It was very cute.
I am SOOOO proud of him! His teacher was extremely proud of him as well. Apparently this was not an “easy” task for him but he practiced hard. What a great guy he is!
