It is partly why I just adore them, they are creative free spirited and imaginative beyond belief. It makes them perfect in GT, but sometimes difficult in social situations. After they had made their own costumes, helped with script, designed the background.....well I couldn't help but want to show them off.
So last week we practiced like crazy. Then the 7th grade class who had built a tepee and and drying rack for a history project decided to work with us and loan us their items to enhance our scene. Add a Mayflower and we had the cutest little set you ever saw. We moved all this industrial equipment from the school to the community center with the help of the 7th grade and we were good to go.
My darlings were fabulous if I do say so myself, and the only time I really had to reign them in was not letting them go crazy when they were offered lunch by the Lions Club. One of my boys wanted to know if he could put three rolls on his plate. One wanted to keep the community ketchup on our table just in case he needed more, and one proceeded to pick off all the breading from his fried chicken and put it on a napkin beside his plate (at least he used a napkin).
I pronounced the day a success and I am very proud of my younger group even if social skills becomes my next major project with them.
