Drama Level 1, 11/12/2013


Today in class the children presented their pictures and illustrations demonstrating emotions during our snack time. It was wonderful to see how much thought went into each selection!  During this time we also practiced projecting our voices so they could be heard across the room. 

 Next, we read The True Story of Christmas by Nell Navillus featuring beautiful illustrations by Allan Eitzen. We used this as a springboard to introduce two Christmas songs based on Jeremiah 29:13 & Matthew 2:2. The children were given handouts of the words to these songs to practice at home. Towards the end of class, the kids did a beautiful rendition of the Jeremiah piece and learned it so well we were able to practice it in a round with the boys and girls singing separate parts!  Next week we will learn our final piece for the presentation based on John 20:31.  I hope to send home CDs with these songs so the kids can listen & practice over Thanksgiving.
