Today, as my fifth graders practiced their shadow puppet version of THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH, I saw art making happening. They argued (politely) plot, methods of demonstrating something, best dialogue. What should be a puppet versus what should be human. Two weeks ago ten children were running the show. Now 20-25 are making it. They gain power. Today, new voices entered the mix.
They are making something. Nothing is better. Nothing.
I am grateful for the collaboration and patience of Leonidas Kassipedes, a talented teacher and artist.
