Students will be given the opportunity to express themselves through art, music, acting, and team building. Through the practice of working together as a class to put on a production, these students will incorporate what they are learning in the traditional classroom to work together to put on a musical. This project will help students use team building strategies to problem solve, use creative thinking, and engage in new roles that will result in an end product that will build confidence in working towards a result they can feel proud of. By working towards putting together a class play, the students will be able to use many of the standards we are learning in our curriculum, such as reading (to go through the script), social studies (to discuss what the costumes, props and backgrounds, should look like), math (to be used in the calculations of building props), art (once again will be used in the decor), communication, and speaking and listening skills. This will be a great culminating project the students can look forward to throughout the year. Microphones and multiple plays will allow these students to have the confidence to perform these musical plays in front of many audiences. We hope to not only perform these in front of parents and our school but also to invite different organizations in the community. This opportunity will also provides students with new outlets to express themselves and will help students feel successful in different modalities than are explored in the regular classroom. The speakers requested will allow us to have more than one student heard at a time, and the different musicals requested will allow this to be an activity that can used throughout the years.
