We Are Acting Out Stories!


"THAT IS NOT MY BUTTON!!!"

Today in drama, Ms. Chalmers introduced a new way to use the space: acting out stories. The children learned that acting out a story means using their whole body to tell the story.  



The children worked to tell the Frog and Toad story of The Lost Button. 
Toad loses his button and becomes increasingly frustrated
 as every button he and Frog find is not his missing button. 



Finally, Toad finds the button at home and realizes that Frog has done a lot to help him, 
so he creates a beautiful present for Frog.  


Acting out stories allows the children to practice using their voices to express big emotions in a safe way, as well as working together as the characters to solve problems.
