Stone Soup

by Marina
The Grade 2 class did a musical called Stone Soup. We performed it for the Junior School and our parents on April 15th at assembly. It was a great experience. Mrs. Goodman was a great director. It was really exciting to get up on stage and sing. Having solos and acting was a lot of fun. Even practicing for the play was cool. It’s amazing how far we’ve come. When it was the week of the performance it was hard for us. It felt to me like we weren’t going to make it. But that week we practiced so much. I think it was perfect!
