Our class last night was devoted to getting organized and practicing for the Christmas Pageant. I think I have everyone properly assigned to the role they want. Several students have been assigned as shepherds, with the others assigned the narrator roles. We have more readers than we have roles, so some students will read on both dates and some on just one.
Parents – If your child is a reader, it would be really great if you would encourage and assist him or her to practice their lines this week. The sections are really very short, just a sentence or two for most of them. It was obvious last night there are some words that are not familiar (Herod, Nazareth, Galilee, etc.). The single, number one piece of advice for nearly all the children will be this; “Speak Up!” We hope to run through the program at least four times next Wednesday, which, hopefully, will give the students a chance to get comfortable with their role.
We MAY have a final rehearsal on Saturday morning, December 20. We will know after we get a chance to see how well the entire troupe is doing after next Wednesday’s practice.
