Dear Parents,
Welcome to this week’s Weebly installation. It was so nice seeing the students return and share some of their Winter Break stories. We began reading chapter 11 in our text. Characterizations and the importance of keeping audience members engaged while an actor is onstage. The students also chose their “scenes” that will be performed sometime in March. This will be school-wide and I am hoping that we can also share this performance on an evening with you, the parents. The dates will be announced as soon as I finalize them. They chose monologues, a Greek Chorus performance, some musical numbers, and a pantomime. A nice array of what we’ve been studying will be on display!
We will be continuing with our chapter 11 and working every day on our performance scenes. I plan to start bringing in some props and costume pieces to get the students excited about their upcoming performances.
I sent out many Reminds this past week. If you haven’t already done so, please join the network. It’s easy to do. Once you see my Remind text, follow the prompts. It’s a great way for you to be on top of what’s happening in my class. I can also text you updates, if need be, personally, not within the general group text.
I will say again that the Winter Break project has not been completed by several students. This unfortunately will affect the overall grade for your student. I’ve sent out Remind texts regarding this to the individual parents who have joined.
I hope you have a great week. Remember, only 3 ½ days of school this week.

January 17th Announcement for Parents:
Dear Parents,
On February 10th the Franklin will be hosting a Showcase. I have spoken to the classes and many of my students were interested in performing at this event. I will need to see them two days a week from the time their classes end until 4:00PM. I realize many of the students travel by bus so in order to join, they would have to make other arrangements to get home. For those of you who pick you child up, 4:00 pick-up is a breeze. NO LINE!
Please let me know ASAP if this is something you wish your child to participate in.
Thank you,
Joanne Shultz
