misc_none Art Exhibit by Painter Linda Hurd     Tell a Friend
    Contact: Jean Hlady   (617) 698-5757   
    Painter Linda Hurd will show her artwork in the Wotiz Gallery during the month of June.  Ms. Hurd says this about her work: "Painting and writing have helped me as I am learning to live with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in my family.  Painting helps me to sit still and often gives me new insights as I contemplate the subject in front of me.  I often present a theme in a series of 12 watercolor paintings with captions. ....Currently I have series on ADHD challenges, telephone poles, laundry, steps, trash and chairs.  I am working on a series...on boundaries." The telephone pole series that Linda has created is a metaphor for people who are wired differently and yet are connected and need each other.  Selections of her work can be seen at http://www.lindathurd.com.  Please come and view this interesting exhibit during the month of June.

    Readers' Theatre is a a type of drama performed by "readers" who read from a script and do not have to memorize lines.  Performed with minimal costumes, sets and props, readers' theatre can be not only a great introduction to theatre for kids, but it's also a great way to practice one's oral reading skills, build confidence, and have fun with friends at the same time!

This summer, Miss Sara is leading a Readers' Theatre Club for students entering grades 2-4.  Each week participants will play theatre games, tackle different scripts based on well-known children's books, and make crafts to supplement the stories we're telling together.  The Club will meet six times over the course of the summer, and each meeting will culminate with a performance for family and friends.  While this is a drop-off program, parents/caregivers are asked to return 15 minutes before the end of each class (at 3:15) so they can see the show!

Students must be fluent readers who have completed first grade.  Registration is required and will open June 1. Flyer

    Readers' Theatre is a a type of drama performed by "readers" who read from a script and do not have to memorize lines.  Performed with minimal costumes, sets and props, readers' theatre can be not only a great introduction to theatre for kids, but it's also a great way to practice one's oral reading skills, build confidence, and have fun with friends at the same time!

This summer, Miss Sara is leading a Readers' Theatre Club for students entering grades 2-4.  Each week participants will play theatre games, tackle different scripts based on well-known children's books, and make crafts to supplement the stories we're telling together.  The Club will meet six times over the course of the summer, and each meeting will culminate with a performance for family and friends.  While this is a drop-off program, parents/caregivers are asked to return 15 minutes before the end of each class (at 3:15) so they can see the show!

Students must be fluent readers who have completed first grade.  Registration is required and will open June 1. Flyer

ent_masks_color 2:00 PM  -  3:30 PM Readers' Theatre Club     Tell a Friend
    Contact: Children's Room   617-698-5757   struog@ocln.org
    Readers' Theatre is a a type of drama performed by "readers" who read from a script and do not have to memorize lines.  Performed with minimal costumes, sets and props, readers' theatre can be not only a great introduction to theatre for kids, but it's also a great way to practice one's oral reading skills, build confidence, and have fun with friends at the same time!

This summer, Miss Sara is leading a Readers' Theatre Club for students entering grades 2-4.  Each week participants will play theatre games, tackle different scripts based on well-known children's books, and make crafts to supplement the stories we're telling together.  The Club will meet six times over the course of the summer, and each meeting will culminate with a performance for family and friends.  While this is a drop-off program, parents/caregivers are asked to return 15 minutes before the end of each class (at 3:15) so they can see the show!

Students must be fluent readers who have completed first grade.  Registration is required and will open June 1. Flyer
