IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

So, today was a good day!  Oliver figured out our curtain woes so now we have a functioning and beautiful curtain!  I had the fabric stapled onto the back of our stage, and then I had four ropes stapled and hanging down, but they were not pulling up the curtain.  So, I asked Oliver this morning how we could get it up, and he said, “Maybe if we put it under the curtain and then loop it over it would pull the curtain up.”  Woohoo!  It worked!  The children are so excited about it.

We have four three sheeters completed, and let me tell you…amazing!  The children did multiple drafts to get to where they are, and I am so proud of their work.

This week we have really been practicing our shows.  We talked today that there will be between 50-60 people there on Thursday night.  We talked about how we  need to make sure and use louder voices so that everyone can hear us.  We also talked about we needed to make sure the puppets can be seen.  Then a few of our friends said, “We also need to make sure and be brave.” I loved that moment!  They have been working hard, and we will continue to practice next week to get us ready for next Thursday.

So proud of our little actors.

Saa painting some of his three sheeter!
