Young Minds At Work - A Summer Joy

Rate: 9 Flag

Hello all! I have missed you all sooooooooooo much! Every summer,  for the past five years, I have had the rare opportunity to work with kids from 5 to 12 at a local performing arts center. We work in 2 week sessions and produce plays with different themes. This last one was taken from an African folktale, A Caterpillars Voice. I reworked it to be The Big Bad Voice so that everyone had a part.

I just love this post! You must be having the time of your life. Grab all those little gold rings as often as you can, Mama.
It's hard to think of a better reason to be away than what you've been doing. These kids look like they're having a great time, and you're the coolest for being there helping it to happen:)
I wasn't invited???????? I'm glad to see you enjoying your immense creativity mama :-)
thanks for sharing - what a great program. It's always hard to see an experience like that end but you know those kids will remember it forever!
Those photos are fantastic, Look at those children acting and having fun; what a great post, Mama, welcome back!
