Hannah's School Play

Today Hannah performed in "Jason and the Argonauts" at her school. She played 3 different roles: Medea, Hera, and an old lady. Charles and I were so impressed since many of her lines she performed in Spanish. Her first monologue was quite long and the Spanish just whipped out of her mouth. We were so amazed! I guess she has been learning the language better than we realized.

In this picture, Hannah is under the veil playing her old lady role.

The class designed all the costumes and the set which is one of the great aspects about the Waldorf school here. I think our schools at home could use a bit more creativity in their curriculum. The play was performed at a beautiful house on the school property and you'll be able to see from the pictures what a lovely setting this was.  Go Hannah and her classmates on a job well done!

The 4th graders also got to play a few minor roles. Alex ended up being turned into a rabbit.
