The supplies that your donations provided were ESSENTIAL to several classes of students (5th, 7th, and 8th grades) this past spring as they, for the first time ever, performed an original piece of theatre on their auditorium stage. \r\n\r\nThis is how it happened: \r\n\r\n1. I shared the items with the students and let them explore and experiment in groups before determining who they were going to work with and what circus act they were going to develop. \r\n\r\n2. Students then planned their acts, including what they were going to do, with what, and who their characters were! \r\n\r\n3. Then students rehearsed their acts over and over and over, receiving feedback, making sure to apply that feedback to get better and better each time. \r\n\r\n4. Finally, students dressed up and performed their circus (The Circus of Wonders) in front of their peers and family members. Some acts including - juggling, jump roping, hula hooping, plate juggling, clowning, and dancing. \r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without your support.
