Our Visit to the Metropolis

The actors at the Metropolis Performing Center in Arlington Heights did an AMAZING job of acting out our story of Mrs. Jojo! Thank you to Ms. Gladu for including the most important parts of our story in the play, as well as all of the fun little details! We watched the mudball story, the "Last Trip of the Millenium," and even a young Mrs. Jojo swinging on the swings up to the moon with her childhood friend Diane. They brought to life so many of the stories we have been writing about over the last few weeks! An added treat was having Mrs. Jojo's sister, Auntie Lyn, join us! Many of the stories involved her, so we were so happy to meet her in person and have her along for the trip. We also enjoyed watching the stories of Mr. Gries, Mr. Robinson, Mrs. Lane, and especially Dr. Jares that the other 2nd grade classes worked on. Every skit highlighted important and memorable moments in the lives of these fascinating Dryden Dolphins! What a fun experience for all!
