As a kindergarten teacher, I have come to recognize that the performing arts enable forms of emotional expression that may not be available in other parts of children's lives or school subjects. I strive to support meaningful and developmentally appropriate opportunities for children to engage in both drama and music. These props will reflect the diversity of the children in the educational setting and the local community. In addition these props will bring students, peers, families, and community members together through song, movement, communication, storytelling, and performance.
In the play, A Trip Through the Alphabet, each student will select a letter of the alphabet to perform before their peers and family. They will memorize their scripted lines with an emphasis on rhyming words. These props will enhance the script and bring meaning and laughter to the play.
