This week, we had a special visit from some students from the Walnut Hill School! The students did two presentations for the 1-2 kids. One group presented a dramatized read aloud of Corduroy Takes a Bow. One student read the story aloud while the other two took on the various roles in the story using a stuffed Corduroy to play his part! After this presentation, the kids were invited to test out their own skills as actors by taking on the roles of frogs, bears and elephants. They were very convincing in their actions and voices!
The other group did a choreographed read aloud of Angelina Ballerina featuring a stuffed Angelina Mouse and Walnut Hill students demonstrating the ballet moves of the characters in the story. After this presentation, the kids had the chance to try out some ballet moves by following the lead of the students. The 1-2 kids enjoyed watching both of these performances, especially when they got to try out actions and dance moves for themselves.
We are always happy to encourage artistic expression in its many forms and hope that the kids were inspired by their experience. Your child also brought home a flyer with the upcoming Walnut Hill children's shows if your child is interested in seeing more. Check out the pictures below from each presentation!
