Today we were visited by our wonderful friend April, who is the technical director of the AFS theater. For those who are unsure about what a technical director does, basically, April is the mastermind behind all of the sets for plays, lights and sound for the theater, among many, many other things.
April visited us to help us enhance our cozy box, which she helped us build earlier in the year. We had been discussing with friends about different ways to encourage new types of dramatic play in our classroom, and altering our cozy box was a suggestion that we thought would change things dramatically (get it? get it?)!
Last week it was suggested that the cozy box become a tree house, and the Owls got so excited at the prospect! So before April came, we collected branches and sticks to help add a more wild feel to our wooden box.
When April came, we attached the branches to the box all over the perimeter, showing us how to use drills, screws and special fasteners as tools and materials.
April also helped us attach a back to the box, which makes the structure more sound and stable, and it provides extra cozy support for friends who are enjoying the cozy box!
