My Project

I've been working continuously everyday with 10 classes for our holiday show. Holiday resources such as wardrobe and scenic items are needed. The Menorah will represent the celebration of "Hanukkah'', and the Kinara will represent the celebration of "Kwanzaa." The Ballet slippers will help our little dancers prepare with practice for the ''Nutcracker.'' The Wooden Soldiers" tells a story with a magical theme inspired by "Toyland." Helping our students with visualization and characterization. Holiday festivities are a great opportunity to teach students some important values: Learning to share, spreading the love, and accepting other holiday cultures. Every child grows and develops differently doing things at their own pace.

Sincere Thanks,

Ms. Alicia Owens
