Ashley's School Opera

On April 26, 2012, Ashley's 1st Grade class performed an Opera that was written by the entire class and the music written by her teacher.

For the play, Ashley was the lead role, Princess Alora.  There were three girls that wanted to be the Princess and the decision was made by rock-paper-scissors.  What an awesome way to decide.  I chatted with Ashley's teacher at a soccer game just before the play and she said that the girls came up with this way to make the decision all by themselves.  Cute!

If any of you know Ashley, you know that she speaks very softly.  Dave and I sometimes get upset with her because she talks so softly that we can't hear her.  She also is a bit shy in front of a group of people so you have to understand that when we watched Ashley perform as the lead role we were totally taken back.  She was bold, loud, did her movements large so those in the back could see.....she did an amazing job.

The play lasted about 8 minutes, which was perfect for a 1st grade attention span.  This teacher did an amazing job.  The opera was awesome!


Enjoying life in the forest and picking some flowers.


Run Princess Alora!  Don't let them catch you!
 
Too Late!  They got you!
 
Oh no!  Now you're being brainwashed!
 
But don't worry.  Your friends came to your rescue!
 
The entire cast.
 
Take your bow.
