Marionette Theater Fun

This Friday, the second grade took a break from our regular schedule and headed to the Marionette Theater to see the Brementown Musicians. After watching the wonderful play, we got the chance to go backstage and get an inside look at what occurs to make a puppet show go smoothly. The kids even got to play with marionettes! We ended our day with lunch at a nearby park and a chance to play on a super cool playground. All in all, it was a great day and I think the kids learned a lot about theater and proper etiquette. I'm looking forward to the next time we have a reader's theater in class, where we read our story of the week as if it is a play, because the kids will be such professionals now that they've seen a play themselves!
