Part of celebrating Purim is dressing up and partying. We are sure to see a lot of superheroes and princesses on the 17th but in our classroom alteregos are limited to Queens Vashti and Esther, King Ahasuerus, Mordechai, and Haman. After circle today the children ran to the art center to make their own masks of the Purim characters. We have realized that they need some help in figuring out what to say when they act out their own story dramas as well as the Megillah. This is a fun learning process for all of us as we become more skilled in our roles as actors, directors, coaches, and audience. We had some hecklers in the audience who needed guidance regarding appropriate audience behavior. Better now than when they see their first Broadway play!
