Sixth Grade Classes
Monologue Performance
Students perform their monologues this week! They will be graded on memorization, volume & diction, acting, and blocking. They have rehearsed in class this week and last week--I am excited to see the final result of this project!
Field Trip
Remember to bring your permission form by the end of this week! Forms can be found here: http://campus.kellerisd.net/Teachers/28252/default.aspx
Musical Announcement
Ms. Bucklew and I will announce the title of the musical by the end of this week! I know the students are excited to find out!
Ask your student:
Do you have your monologue memorized?
What is a "slate?"
What is an "Oscar-winning moment?"
Fifth Grade Classes
HI! I'm Mrs. Blake Lentz! Welcome to Brave Theatre!
Some fun facts about me:
M.Ed. from UNT, BFA from TCU, director of Camp Willy at Trinity Shakes, can eat an entire box of Wheat Thins in one sitting, am a Harry Potter trivia champ, my husband, Aaron, is a lighting designer, my pet, Skywalker, is a dog.
Expectations:
- Work Hard. I expect full effort and participation. You can't learn by sitting out!
- Be Nice. Support and respect your peers. Respect the room by keeping it clean and staying out of restricted areas.
- Have Courage. It takes guts to participate. It takes guts to do the right thing. We are BRAVES.
- The KISD Code of Conduct is to be followed at all times.
Policies:
- Grading: 75% Participation/Daily; 25% Tests/Performances
- Theatre Isn’t Fair: I promise to treat you and grade you fairly in class, but not everyone will get the leading role in every scene or play.
- Safety: Much like P.E., we move around a lot in my classroom. If you choose to ignore safety expectations, I reserve the right to remove you from the activity and provide you with an alternate assignment.
- Behavior: Failure to comply with expectations may result in the following:
1st Warning: Documentation of warning, no consequence. Possible alternate assignment.
2nd Warning: Email to parent, receive an “S”
3rd Warning: Phone call to parent, receive an “S”
4th Warning: Detention with Mrs. Lentz, receive a “U”
5th Warning: Possible administration involvement. “N”
Please take a moment to fill out the survey below. This will allow your child to receive an extra 100 in my class. Thank you!
BCI in the House
We had a great time at The Peanuts Movie! (See picture below!) I hope you can join us for the next one! Thanks for being in the house!
Reminders:
- This is not required or expected--for fun only!
- Guardians are responsible for their students PLUS the cost of admission. This is NOT a school-sponsored activity and no chaperons will be provided.
