Emily joined the drama club at school when she started Kindergarten in the fall. I was not sure if she was really old enough for something like that, but no one is more dramatic than Emily so I figured it was worth a shot. Turns out she LOVES drama. She rarely fusses about practicing and learning her lines and she tends to memorize them very quickly. They have done several cute shows throughout the year but for the end of the year recital, each child had to learn a whole poem and perform it complete with arm/hand motions. Emily did a great job! Her poem was called "We Had a Field Trip Yesterday" by Jack Prelutsky.

We had a field trip yesterday,
An annual event.
This year was really special,
We're all happy that we went.
We visited a factory
To watch candy being made,
And saw a million lollipops
On colorful parade.
We saw a vat of chocolate
That they'd warmed so it would melt,
And endless rows of gumdrops
On a great conveyor belt.
They gave us lots of samples,
And we giggled, roared, and squealed -
Our field trip was exciting,
Though we never saw a field.
