My Project

My diverse students come from all educational settings and love to be immersed in the world of theater. I want them to feel safe and confident exploring the different centers in our theater room.

Students will be transported into the world of theater and media with backdrops and sets.

Each center will be a different set therefore creating an immersive learning experience. The printer will be used for scripts that are then laminated to be used by all 600 kids in the school. Microphones will be used by students of all abilities to help find their voice.

I am so excited to see my students grow their confidence through the use of theater and the arts.
