As part of National Arts in Education Week, we wanted to recognize the outstanding efforts of our Sedro-Woolley High School drama students. These photos are from Amy Gregory’s classes last week as they did a drama exercise called “Bear, Salmon, Mosquito.”
It's a lot like "Rock, Paper, Scissors" but you use your whole body! It begins 1 v. 1.
Students begin back-to-back. Ms. Gregory does a countdown, when students hear "battle" they jump or spin around in the form of one of the animals.
(Bear eats the salmon, salmon eats the mosquito, mosquito bites the bear.)
After three rounds of 1 v. 1 the two opponents join forces and pick two other opponents to battle 2 v. 2. Then they join forces and so on and so on. The final three rounds are half the class v. half the class… It's so fun.
When Ms. Gregory asked the students, "Why would I have you do this?" the responses were insightful and spot-on:
get better at communicating without talking
work with people we don't really know
get comfortable moving around on stage
connect a movement with a sound
teamwork
"mistakes" aren't actually the worst thing
think on your feet
have FUN!

September is Attendance Awareness Month. 📚👩🎓👨🎓 Attendance is crucial to academic success, not only for the absent student but for the entire classroom, team, or after-school club. 🚫👻 🔍👥 🚸📉 Students who miss just two days a month for any reason are more likely to struggle with reading and less likely to graduate. Let's work together to prioritize attendance and help all students succeed! 💪🏼🎓
