As you are probably aware, our scripts came on Friday! Yea! We were very excited to be able to read the play--but we only got through half of it. We had a lot of fun with reading the first half on Friday, and we read the second half of the play today. What a great story! I'm eager for the students to not only experience the play, but also understand the significance of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. The message of salvation comes through loud and clear--especially if you're looking for it!
We spent a little time today talking about auditions and practicing for them. Students will be asked to read various scenes from the script, and they got a chance to do a little of that today. We will do some practicing on Wednesday also so that they can feel prepared and comfortable for the auditions on Monday. I encouraged students to practice at home, too!
We're continuing our journey through The Hiding Place. We read about the raid on the ten Boom house, and we will see God's provision for the family--though not necessarily in the way they would choose. It's been really interesting and exciting, I think, to see the war and the family's involvement in the Underground through the eyes of someone who lived it. I recently overheard a student say to someone else about the book, "It's so good!" I know I feel that way, and I hope that all of the seventh and eighth graders are enjoying reading the book together and are learning that God really is a hiding place in difficult times.
Chapter 10 is due on Wednesday, so let's keep on reading!
