Trail of Tears

After the End of Grade tests wrapped up, Ben's class began working on a historical play, The Trail of Tears. They auditioned, learned lines, rehearsed, and painted scenery all in a little over a week. Today is the big day - They are performing the play four times this morning in front of parents and other classes. I attended the very first performance at 8:15 this morning :) The kids did an amazing job!

Here is Ben & his friend Ben W. "backstage" (they performed in the classroom so there wasn't actually a backstage but whatever).


Here is Ben's part. He was one of the narrators ("So I don't have to wear an embarrassing costume"). You'll have to turn your volume way up if you want to have a prayer of hearing his lines ;) He delivered them easily but in a conversational tone and I was seated towards the back.
