Last week, Mrs. Hodgson's first graders produced a spring play called The Knee High Man, a selection from their reader. The original story did not have enough parts for everyone, so the children thought up additional characters and lines so that everyone could have a part. They came up with some clever ideas, adding an anaconda, a giraffe, a lion, and a polar bear to the original players: a mule, a bull, an owl, Sam the Knee High Man, and June the storyteller. With their additions, the play had nine parts - one for each student!
They performed the play for their parents and several other classes. Along with the play, they also read some fire safety rules that the students composed, recited poems for each month of the year, and sang a song about reading books. They did a fantastic job of learning their lines, learning all those poems, and singing! Way to go, first graders!
