4th grade Shakespearean Play

Today the students had the privilege of watching the 4th grade students perform Shakespeare's A Midsummer Nights Dream. The students LOVED IT!!! The play was almost an hour long and our class sat there and watched every minute. They hung by the characters words and laughed and clapped and gasped every time they were supposed to!

Your children may have come home talking about Queen Titania or King Oberon or Puck or the fairies or one of the many many characters... there were a ton! Or they may have even talked about the sword fight or pretend death. The play offered had many different acts and offered a lot of enjoyment.

 Well after the play we wanted the students to write Thank You cards for the students and WOW the class blew up away!! They had the best drawing and writing that we've ever seen... they took their time and we wanted to show you a few pictures of their hard work. :)    

Enjoy!!

P.S. We want to give a huge THANK YOU to Mrs.Hardage and Mr. Haas... your students were amazing and we LOVED the play!!!
