Julius Caesar

Every year each of the 6th Grade classes at Westland do a Shakespeare play. Jaxon's class did Julius Caesar this year! For weeks he has been asking for white sheets, swords, bright colored belts, fake trees. I think he was going to provide costumes for everyone in his class single handed! It was so much fun watching these 6th graders do Shakespeare! What a wonderful learning experience for them. I think Jaxon will defiantly have a better understanding of Shakespeare then his mom! They all sheets wrapped around them as togas. They made pillars out of upside down five gallon buckets and carpet rolls! How cool are these kids! Their teacher, Mr. Sagers said they came up with all the ideas for the sets and everything! They painted, learned lines and worked really hard to get this all together. The mom messed up and didn't have the camera ready to get his big speech, but trust me he did a wonderful job! We are very proud of you Jaxon!
