2nd Grade BUGZ Play

Over the last month, 2nd grade has been working on their annual BUGZ play.  Dad was one of the parent volunteers to help update the costumes and to teach a group of kids their lines and dance during the play.  For 3 days a week, he went to school to work with the Fireflies (Collin is one of the Fireflies).  Because there are so many boys in 2nd grade, the Fireflies were all boys.  The dance in the prior years was slow and meant to be graceful.  Because this would be too slow for the boys, Dad thought of a few good changes to include for the Fireflies.  Even the Principal said the dance was the best she had seen.

This was a really good play for the kids because they all had talking parts.  Some where by themselves and others talked in a group.  Collin said his lines with two other boys.  He knew them perfectly but must have been really shy when it came time to present to the parents because he was barely moving his mouth during his turn.


Here is the Firefly dance.  Collin is in the back and dances around.  He is hard to see at times because his headgear is really low on his face.


Here are a few pictures of the Fireflies during the play.
