Two short plays will be performed by Ms. Chamberlain’s Grade 2/3 class. Two Tales from Japan include the Straw Millionaire and The Funny Little Woman.

Class plays, often performed in springtime, deepen student’s curriculum, social emotional and collaborative learning.

The plays reflect each grade’s individual curriculum and the appropriate developmental level of the students. Class plays incorporate music, recitation, memorization, acting, and visual arts. The play also meets children at a place of their age’s unique social development — both in story and practice.  

The parts within a play begin mostly as chorus in younger grades; as the children grow, so do the expectations for bringing individual characters to life.
