"HONK JR."

This year we are putting on the play called "Honk Jr." and we are presenting it in circus style! It is the story of the Ugly Duckling.

COSTUMES and MAKEUP!!


We have been working very hard already to make the costumes for the play. The students come in everyday and make a list of their jobs for the day and check them off as they accomplish them. Each crew member has 2-3 costumes that they assigned themselves to make. We have drawn pictures of our ideas and searched online for ideas. They are in the process of taking the measurements of each actor/actress and talking to them about their ideas. We have an assortment of books from the school and public library on sewing, fashion, costumes and crafts that the students will be reading and using to help them. We are also learning how to write memos and use them to communicate with other crew members. Here are some pictures of what we are doing:
