William Shakespeare

On Friday April 18th Jaden's school had a celebration to observe Shakespeare's birthday. They told the whole school (K-12) to dress in their favorite Shakespearian attire. There were dragons, fairies, and other beautiful costumes. They had a Shakespearian feast, a parade through the school with instruments, banners & streamers, a Shakespearian dance, and a performance of Hamlet by students. Now that's what I would call a learning experience.


Jaden has told me the story of Hamlet many times now after watching the performance. She just loved it. She also really likes the name Herachio (Hamlet's brother). I only wish all schools would make learning so fun and rememberable.
