Gr. 5 presents "Romeo and Juliet"

Fifth graders presented Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet this morning. The study of Shakespeare started over the summer for fifth graders, when they read "Romeo and Juliet" for school. As part of their study of the causes and effects of the American Revolution, students learn about England in the 16th and 17th centuries - Queen Elizabeth, the power of Spain, and the important role the theater played in education, entertainment, and enlightenment during this period.
