Preparing for our Third Grade Production

In a week, our third graders will be performing the Bad Wolf Press play, Pirates of Grammar Island.  We are so excited!  The students have been working for a month on the script and this week we will be starting the staging process.  I took the time last year to record the set and costumes for each scene in a notebook.  I couldn't find the book until last Friday.  I thought I lost it, but I packed it with the costumes and set pieces.  We have been adding lines to the script so more students would have speaking parts.  Our songs have been memorized, but now we have to make sure all of the students remember the motions.  We also need to have the dancers and background performers learn their parts.  We are running out of time and I'm going to be out 3 days due to helping to write the Blue Ribbon application and 1:1 Mobile Technology district training.

My grade level team is going to be disappointed with me, unfortunately, I have spread myself too thin again. Sub plans for 3 different days, Blue Ribbon application, behavior assemblies, disaster drill and play practice will fill this week.  I hope I am able to prepare for my OCCUE presentation as well. Add to that, I'm training for my 4th half marathon.  I try to meet with my running crew during the week so we can keep in shape before our big run.  After school will be just as crazy, but that is nothing new! Here is to a busy week full of promise.  I'll share some pictures of our show next week, the kids look great already! Can't wait for the show!  Good luck Fisler third graders, you will rock this performance!
