It was another busy weekend in the Twigg & Ross household.
Julia spent a large portion the afternoon painting items she loved in the house. Here is she painting a portrait of our cat, dnoddy-oh.
The painting in progress:
On Saturday, I made my brief debut on CJOB radio. I expressed interest in hosting a children’s show on weekend mornings to the program director, and so he is training me up. I spoke two very little bits. The first was the lottery numbers, and I did that too quickly. I read the kids riddles and interacted a little bit on air. Tomorrow I will hear what he thinks about it. I had to be in the station at 5.30 am. whee! I then went to the theatre to teach 2 classes.
We are prepping towards the final presentation in mid march. It is my least favorite thing about teaching drama. For months, I am all about process I state “it is about the development of the child, not the development of the drama” over and over, and then we need to do a show for their families. I try not to get stressed about the show, but it is impossible. I become concerned about the staging, their expressions and there is never enough time. This year, I have started the process earlier, hoping to make the entire process more enjoyable for them and me. The Story drama class is performing an adapted version of , “Into the Forest”. The Mrs. Twigg students just discovered their super powers and will be going on a Volcano adventure next week. The superhero theme will be explored at the final presentation.
I also:
-saw Thunderbirds A Go!
- read school related articles and books
- completed a pair of fingerless mittens that I am donating to Manitoba Association of Playwrights Tea
- made homemade granola (super yummy and makes the house smell cozy!)
- made vegetarian ravioli from scratch and pouted when it fell apart while boiling
I have a gigantic weekend of work coming up including a tea party at Boys and Girls Club, round two of radio personality training, hosting a dinosaur adventure birthday party and my regular two classes at the Theatre. I will extra meditate and rest this week.
