7/8th Grade

The 7th and 8th grade students have started on their final scene study project. These will be performed on Wednesday 2/13.

After that we will be working on fine tuning the monologues or scenes that they will be performing for Related Arts Night. Each student will perform at least one piece and that evening. They will need to be at the school at 6:30. The show starts at 7:00 with the 6th grade performing first. The 7th and 8th graders should be start about 7:30.

Reminder, on Monday the students will be choosing their electives for the next term. Please talk over with your students what you would like them to take.

6th Grade

The 6th graders continue to work on their final project, Frumpled Fairy Tales. This week we have run through the entire show once and then worked each scene at least twice.

Next week they are supposed to be "off book, " or all of their lines are supposed to be memorized. It is extremely important that parents go over the lines with their students each night.

I will be asking students to bring in small props that they will use in the play. They are going to leave them here in the classroom so they can use them everyday for rehearsal.

The final performance will be on February 21. The students will need to be here by 6:00 and the show starts at 7:00.

6th Grade

Today the students made a plan of action on how to memorize their lines. Please go over this with your students tonight and help them with their line memorization.

I've noticed that some of the students have a hard time remembering to bring their scripts and pencils to class, help them out by asking if they have them before they go to school everyday.

Thanks!

6th Grade

This week in the 6th grade we have started our final project. We will be performing the play, Frumpled Fairy Tale. Each student has at least one part and some more. This week and next we will be blocking the play and doing run throughs of the scenes we have finished with.

The students will need to have all of their lines memorized by February 11. If you could help your student by going over their lines with them at home it would help us move class forward.

The students will perform this play on February 21 at 7:00 here at ACMS.

7/8th Grade

The students continued to work on their second set of monologues this week. I saw performances from Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Midsummers Night Dream and many others. After seeing some of the work we as a class have decided to continue working on these pieces. After some careful thought the students decided they could make these pieces even better.

They will perform them once again on Wednesday, January 30th.

Please encourage your student to show you the work they have been doing in class. Some of them are still a little weak with their lines and could use the extra practice.

6th Grade

The 6th grade class is currently working on a commercial project that will be due on Friday. They are taking familiar fairy tales and making a commercial out of them. An example would be, haircare products for Rapunzel or fertilizer for Jack and the Beanstalk.
