I am several months late in posting this, but it needed to be posted nevertheless. Maddie's second grade class wrote and produced an opera. From start to finish they all worked hard and put on this magnificent opera! I was so very impressed! It's called The Pizza Mess. There were a lot of things I didn't understand (like, what were M&M's doing at the pizza parlor eating pizza??) but what an accomplishment. Fortunately for you the video is too long, otherwise you would be watching it! The basic story line is that a pizza parlor catches on fire and the M&M's are melting. Maddie was an M&M and did a fantastic job! She also helped a little boy with Downs Syndrome get across the stage and helped him know when to do things. It was a very proud Mommy Moment for me! The teacher in her infinite wisdom made all the kids a CD with the Opera on it...so we listen to it every once in awhile...and again...and again...and again....
This is Travis, the boy that Maddie helped.
The kids did all the scenery. They had a teensy bit of help from the parents but the majority of it was all done by the kids-painting and all!
My little M&M!
Maddie and her teacher Mrs. Robertson
