What have we been up to?

We've been busy in the theatre room at TMIS! Here's what we've been doing...
6th graders have just started to work on their own scenes! I gave them partners and they chose a 4 page scene to work on with that partner. They will block the scene, work out props, costumes and anything else they feel necessary to performing that scene...in a few weeks, we'll perform for our fellow classmates!
I will have a new set of 5th graders on Tuesday! We get to start fresh with get to know you games and the basics of theatre! For all you new parents, here's the link to the parent form in case you want to get a head start!

PAL Team: In PAL team Mrs. Mckenzie and I are switching work groups for a couple of weeks...I will be working on mask-making with my work group!!! I'm so excited! This is one of my favorite things to do with 6th graders!
Mustang Communications: We've been hammering out some videos! We worked on a recycling video, are working with a small group of 5th graders to get a video produced about the dangers of the Alta Vista/Keller Hicks intersection. Up next are a set of videos and the TAKS Toolbox! I'll post some of the videos soon...they are hilarious!
