Opera in a Box - Hansel and Gretel

This week a mysterious chest arrived from Manitoba Opera with a whole bunch of props from the Opera "Hansel and Gretel". The Grade 2's have been learning about Opera and the story of Hansel and Gretel. It has been a lot of fun so far "wondering" what was in the chest and how it all fit together. We enjoyed using a website with an interactive game telling the story of this Opera and here is the link for the students to play at home or during free time on the computers at school. http://classicalkusc.org/kids/opera/index.htm
