Mrs. Blackwell's Bards    The children are truely becoming experts on William Shakespeare. My morning students have been working diligently to uncover facts about Shakespeare using books, magazines, encyclopedias, and internet sources. We will be putting our slides together soon. You will be able to see the finished product on a disc your child will bring home, at our play presentation in December, and in a book which you may purchase this spring. My afternoon students amaze me with their acting abilities. Please remind your child to practice at home. They should have a script to share with you in their boomerang folder. We have also begun trying on costumes. They really loved that. If you have something to add to our wardrobe deptment, it would be appreciated. Please e-mail me if you would like to help in the costume or scenery department.
 
Shakespeare is Elementary  Welcome to St. Elmo and my classroom. My name is Stephanie Blackwell. For the next nine weeks, your child will be in my "Shakespeare Survey" class. In the afternoon they will change classes and attend Mrs. Wright's class for "Poetry Alive". At the beginning of the next nine weeks, our classes will flip-flop. At that time your child will study math with Mrs. Wright in the morning and then come to me for instruction in the dramatic arts. At the end of the semester, our classes will hold a special presentation to share what we have learned.
 
Shakespeare Survey
"To be or not to be" Can students in second and third grade study Shakespeare? Yes if they attend St. Elmo. Students in this class will research the life of William Shakespeare and create a storyboard about him that will be used in a class Powerpoint slide show. Students will also become familiar with famous lines, plays, and characters created by the bard.
  "All the World's a Stage"
In our enrichment class, students will practice the dramatic arts. Poise, movement,reading fluency, creative interpretation, and oral presentation will be stressed. The class will culminate with a performance of the play "Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf Meet Shakespeare." Parents may be called on to help with preparations including scenery. If you have expertise in art, music, dance, or drama and would like to help, please let me know. Be looking for your invitation to our production! Please see the attached copy of our play. download THIS MS Word file

Keep in Touch
Your child should already have a take-home folder that I like to call the "Boomerang Folder." I will expect your child to give you the folder after coming to St. Elmo each week. Please check the folder for important announcements. Then sign the folder even if it does not have anything new in it. I will check for the signature each week. Feel free to write comments and questions in this folder. I will do the same. I can also be reached by calling St. Elmo at 706.748.3115 or by e-mailing me. My e-mail address is: sblackwell@mcsdga.net If you have any concerns or questions about my class, please share these with me. I want my students to have a positive experience at St. Elmo. If there are problems, I want to know so that I can solve them.
