After days of practice, it was a relief today to be out of the auditorium and back in the classroom. Sometimes you need a break. Tomorrow afternoon we’ll be practicing again, but for today we contentedly let Mr. Mason and the orchestra use the auditorium.
Still, quite a lot of play practice did go on thanks to my fantastic co-director, Ms. Rosen, and the expertise assistance of Mr. Pratt. Both these talented, hardworking professionals took small groups of actors and worked with them intensely on blocking and line reading. I am sooo indebted to them.
Just the usual stuff otherwise. We started a new story in Open Court. We watched a little more of Ramona. We corrected and discussed homework. We read a chapter of By the Great Horn Spoon! We played softball at PE.
Homework: We’re making tracks through the math book, trying to finish as much as possible before testing. There are three short chapters tonight. (1) Do “Capacity,” Math, page 413. (2) Do “Weight,” Math, page 415. (3) Do “Compare Strategies,” Math, page 417. (4) Do the reading strategy sheet for chapter 6 of By the Great Horn Spoon!
