2016 Stories – 15 – Colonial Play

As a culmination of their Social Studies work, David’s school has a tradition that the 5th grade class puts on a Colonial Play. Each of the kids gets to pick a character and then they  write 1-2 scenes with that character. All the scenes are then sent to a company which weaves them into a play. They then come to the school with costumes, props and the kids put the play on for the parents.

This means the play is different each time since the kids are writing the scenes. Pretty awesome, no?

David was Patrick Henry this year. (His first choice was Nathan Hale.) I will admit I knew pretty much nothing about him but I still loved watching the play.

I love how much my physics-loving kid loves History. I love how he already knows so much more than I do. I love love love everything this child adds to my life.

Thank you, David.
