Cinderella

Austin and her first grade friends have spent their lunch hour at school the last few months working on a play. Together, they’ve written a script, memorized lines, designed costumes, built backdrops, added in music and dance- all to create their own version of Cinderella. And all with minimal teacher involvement. And guess who played the role of Cinderella?

And away we went to see the big show. The play involved multiple costume changes, a choreographed ball dance with the kindergarteners, as well as accompanying piano and drum music, performed by the 3rd graders. It was an elaborate performance for 7 year olds to have arranged! And quite funny. I was surprised by what they pulled off.

The cast out for final call.
Well done, ladies! I’m so impressed by the resourcefulness, drive, creativity and care these gals put into their play!
