Acting out in 5L

They talked me into it. Three weeks after school started, we were wrapping Sideways Stories from Wayside School by Louis Sachar and my 25 fifth graders begged if we could put on a play. Since I have little experience with drama productions and am always taking bites bigger than I can chew, I caved and decided to see if the 5th graders could pull it off.

I found the script online- and it was only 12 minutes long. Too short. So I challenged my kids to write a few scenes and a couple songs and BAM! 5L weaved together a little production.

Take a look for yourself and tell me what you think... All I know is that I could not be more proud of my acting, hospitality, music and design teams- they know how to put together a show :)
