The 2 Steves Visit

Today your child will probably come home saying "Thingamabob" and "whatchamacallit?" and you will be like "huh?". Well, today our visiting authors, Steve Skidmore and Steve Barlow (aka the 2 Steves) were here at TAISM and your child got to meet them both! These are made-up words that keep appearing in the play called, The Thingamabob that Skidmore and Barlow co-authored.
Together with the 2 Steves, children participated in an interactive play written by Skidmore and Barlow called, The Thingamabob. The story is about this monster called "Thingamabob" appearing in town causing major distractions and delays and making a lot of kids late for school. All the kindergarteners and 1st graders were extremely engaged in the interactive play. They learned lines and silly, made-up words like "thingamabob" and "watchamacallit" from the story, as well as actions that go with the different expressions of the characters.
