Drama

The children have begun learning about the elements of drama with Mrs. Belaire.  They are learning to vary tone of voice in drama and naming feelings that are expressed in facial expressions of characters in books. The children prepared masks to dramatize the story of "The Three Little Pigs".  You can now view their dramatic performance in their ePorfolio.

During our story time, the children listened to the story "The Three Little Fish and the Big Bad Shark." Then, we discussed the similarities and differences between this story and the original story of "The Three little Pigs".
