My fourth grade bilingual class did an amazing job of performing this beautiful play. More importantly, by reading and studying its contents, they were able to understand the social and political implications of it and relate it direclty to their own lives. We were also fortunate enough to have Ms. Cebulska view our performance. We are very grateful to her for letting us perform her wonderful work and for viewing our interpretation of it.
