Last week Ezra brought in a very special book called Herman and Margerite: an earth story which is a story about the friendship between a worm and a caterpillar. Today we re-read the story but with a twist: we acted it out! Parts were chosen by choosing sticks. Eli was Herman and Dylan was Margerite and we had a forest of Ezra and Jacob trees filled with Molly and Lily deer. Max played the role of the wise grandpa worm and Hannah and Eliza were our dancing worms and played the role of the buzzing bees. Each child owned their role and said lines. I was impressed also how much the language of the story affected the body language of the children playing the characters. They make such great actors and actresses! For second circle we read Caps for Sale and the class immediately started acting it out! This class has a great love of acting and I’m excited to do more acting and storytelling as the year goes on!
