Bluemagic that is great, and a good reminder to this future teacher to take the time to share positives with parents. Marnie that is really cool about the mandarin. They are doing Macbeth, which dd is already calling the Scottish play because she doesn't want to mess up in the theatre, lol. It is acting--every day for month from 9-4--staging the play and lots of classes, then 3 performances. It should be a great experience.

St. Margaret, how wonderful! Glad she could find her people! That is awesome. My dd hasn't really found other kids who love Shakespeare yet, so I think it will be cool for her to spend a month with peers who do.
