About the store
Hello, Friends! I teach Kindergarten - fifth grade theatre in Texas. In previous jobs, I've taught middle school and high school theatre as well. My materials are tried and true, tested in the fires of my quirky classroom. If they don't work for me, I won't sell them here. I named my store "The Drama Team" because that's what my core group of advanced actors calls themselves. We're a team, and whatever we achieve, we do it together.
We theatre teachers so often cobble together curriculum where there is no curriculum. Let's share what we know! (I spend more money on TPT than I have ever sold, that's for sure.)
Is there a particular type of lesson or resource you'd like to see? Send me a message, and I might be able to post that type of item next time.

Teaching style
I teach a lot of theme lessons to incorporate multiple 5 minute activities in one lesson.
My K-3rd drama lessons usually consist of a warmup, a teaching section (short), a group experience, and a solo acting experience of some kind.
My fourth-fifth graders have a variety of lessons, usually in unit form. There's always a warmup, then we often learn a concept, then spend a few minutes preparing a mini performance. On week 3, there's usually a performance of some type.
My lessons are based on our schedule in which I see students once each week.
