The Day the Crayons Quit!
Posted by Megan Kirk
Our kindergartners have been working a lot on expression and how the way we move our bodies and the tone of our voices can tell people how we are feeling. After we read the story The Day the Crayons Quit, I asked each student to chose one of the crayons and to say one of their lines with expression and body language. The students enjoyed this activity so much we decided to keep it going! Using the book as our guide, we created our own script for a short adaptation of this story. Students began reading and learning their lines right away! To help inspire these little actors I asked some of our cast members from the spring musical to come in and mentor the kindergarteners. It was an excellent class filled with great advice, lots of energy, and lots of laughter! Then we decided we would put this “show” on for the Unquowa community. I was so proud of each student for having the confidence and courage to stand up on stage and act out our play!
