The 2nd grade class puts on a musical play every year at our school. The music teacher does an amazing job working with the children. About a month ago a letter was sent home asking what interest (if any) our child had. Rachel didn't want to be a singer or dancer, so she opted for a speaking part. Well, she ended up being one of the lead characters. She had quite a few lines. Once she found out what she had gotten herself into, she wasn't too sure... There were some tears, some discussions, some fear, but luckily she stuck it out. And she did great! It wasn't anything she couldn't do. They first performed the play for the entire school and then tonight all the parents and siblings were invited to a showing. Rachel did an awesome job and I'm so glad she had the courage to go through with it. She was a pretty amazing Franny Farmer in "How Does Your Garden Groove?"!

I love chances like these for my kids to do something out of their comfort zone. In addition to learning her lines, she also knew all the songs and sang along in the chorus. The students all worked very hard on preparing for this performance.
