Children learn best when they connect their bodies and their minds. As they sing and dance and act out stories, they have the opportunity to connect their bodies and minds and deepen their learning.
Each year we bring a theater program to our school to do a live performance for our students. In anticipation of the show, the children read the book associated with the play, act out the different parts, and talk about the different characters in the story.
Each year the members of the Pushcart Players who come to perform are impressed with how knowledgeable our children are and how attentive they are during the performance.
Theater is a wonderful way for children to see literature come alive. Watching the different characters helps children appreciate different perspectives. The shows can spark an appreciation of theater and the arts.
We are grateful to all those who donate to our Educational Enhancement Fund, which allows us to bring this program and many of the other special extras to our Early Childhood Center.
