The first week in March, my second grade students performed "Seussical Musical Jr" to celebrate his birthday! I have 3 second grade classes, and each class did their own separate play of it. They each performed it twice that week: one for fellow students and one for their family/friends. So there was a total of 6 performances in 4 days! It was a crazy, but super fun week!
Seussical Musical Jr. is so fun to learn and present! The students started working on it after Christmas Break, and they loved working on it! There are 6 songs, each with lyrics taken from stories that Seuss wrote. After we learned each song, I read to the classes the book that the lyrics of that song came from. For every song, the students learned coordinating movements and they stood in different formations on the stage. The dialogue in between each song talks about Seuss' books, too. I played the narrator, and I was always on stage for the dialogue, but I left during each song for the kids to sing it by themselves.
Each student had one line they said during the play, which they got to choose. Jonah's line was "Splash!" and Micah's part was "or Solla Sollew". Even though each class performed the same play, the performances were all a little different because the students in each class are so different! It was wonderful for me to be a part of such great productions, and I enjoyed watching Jonah and Micah perform on stage!
