The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf

Last Wednesday, each 3rd grad class put on a trial ... the Big Bad Wolf was being tried for killing the Three Little Pigs. This was a terrific opportunity to learn more about the Bill of Rights, and what makes the US such a special place to live. Mr. Gray, a local attorney and son of one of the teachers, had worked with the classes over the last few weeks, to teach them about first 8 ammendments to the constitution. They used these principles in the play. Here are some pictures!

The jury watches intently ... Spencer, Luis, Jose, Jared, and Alek.
Hunter, the police officer.
Max, the judge.

Mr. Gray, explaining the bill of rights.

The kids had a lot of fun dressing up and acting it out, and the parents had fun watching. In Alek's class, the Wolf was found innocent!
