Hi everyone!
Welcome back to another fantastic year of Health Education and Theater classes.
I have spent this summer adding some really interesting interactive lessons to the Health Education curriculum.
In grade six you will be constructing your own Personality Time Capsule which will not be opened again until you are in the eighth grade. How much will you have changed by then?
In Grade seven there will be some wonderful physical and mental challenges awaiting you during the "In Quest of Self" opening unit. Do you think you and a group of your classmates can prevail in the "Indian Balloon Stomp"? Or negotiate the tricky directions in the "Watch Your Step" lesson? You'll find out soon enough!
In Grade eight you will be taking three very revealing on line learning style surveys/quizzes that are sure to make you go.....hmmmmm! As well as find out where you stand on the important issue of Body Image as you participate in a fascinating lesson called "Deconstructing Barbie and Ken".
Those are just a few lessons to pique your interest. There's much more in store for you as the year goes by. Set get set for a great year!
See you in Health class!
Now on to the Theater section of my quia page.
This year's opening drama production will be "Alice in Wonderland".......Medfield style! There are the traditional roles we have all come to know and love.....The Mad Hatter, Alice, The Cheshire Cat etc....
But..
There are some crazy new roles too... Damarzo, Tonelli and Gantos just to name a few!
As always there will be a fabulous dance troupe that will be high stepping their way throughout the production and a stage and sound crew that will be doing some amazing musical and sound effects!
Tryouts begin in October! So go to the T.A. Blake Middle School Theater Web Site to learn more about the upcoming show and to download all of the forms that you will need to become a part of the action!
Hope to have you join us......
Break a leg!
Mrs. Porter-Fahey
