Today 4th grade learned about William Shakespeare.  We learned about  his life, his work, and his contributions to the world of literature.   Next, the scholars went to work creating props, studying their lines, and marking how to stage their theatrical production of Hamlet.  Everyone did a great job and fun was had by all!!!
