The Greenies are anxious to finish the backdrops as our stage space becomes more real. We revisit the idea of sketching our ideas for the second backdrop- a cave and woods. I receive many drawings of caves represented by arching lines and dark colors. We are also working on figuring out how to hold up curtains. I turn to a parent in our classroom who has helped us in the past. I share our ideas and he offers to help out.

| BA runs through the new curtains! |
Andy, BA’s dad, builds a curtain holder for the play. I mentioned our need for this last week, he and BA built it over the weekend. He drills holes about 1/2 way down for us to us as puppet theater as well.
We meet again as a group to find out what is left to do.
JH- We still need to work on dinner (food for the families who come to the play.)
LL- We need to finish OM’s cave.
OM- We can buy costumes.
JH- we can move the chairs like when we did “Mortimer” this summer.
We also discuss needing to pick a date, making tickets, etc.
We plan to return the borrowed costumes and find the box of fabrics to encourage the Greenies to begin thinking about how to make costumes.

Second backdrop completed!

| OM and LL work on the cave painting. OM takes great responsibility of this backdrop as it represents the home of her character in the play. |
 |
| Greenies help to add trees to the cave scene. I help by oainting basic tree shapes. CE reminds me of Picasso in her striped shirt but poses in a Pollack kind of way, using her whole body. |

| JMH adds his own trees using markers. |

We take the borrowed costumes out and bring in a box of fabrics as a provocation for making their own costumes. We also pick a date: Friday Feb. 10th for the play. The Greenies and parents are excited as it become real- or as they say, "for real life!" We also plan field trip to go to the local theatre to see what a real theatre with a stage and curtains looks like.
Next post- making costumes and finalizing plans for the big day!
