The Magical Journey Opera

Jaxon's third grade class wrote and performed an opera. It was all about mean teachers who put all their kids in detention. Then Little Red Running Shorts comes and tells the kids to run away from their teachers and come with them to a mansion. The kids get lost along the way and the teachers are mad they escaped and go looking for them. While looking for the kids some witches agree to help the teachers locate the escaped kids. Only then they run into some talking owls that just confuse them. Finally the kids reach their destination with the help of the owls. They are happy to be with Little Red Running Shorts. The teachers keep searching for the kids until they agree with the owls and Little Red Running Shorts that they will be nicer to the kids. The kids are glad that the teachers will be nice but now everyone is ready to go back to school. Only they need a key that is a dragon's tooth. They find that they need to work together to get home. In the end everyone is friends and all is well.

Jaxon was a mean teacher. Here he is singing, "You're going away! You're in detention!" Then proceeds to tell the kids to get away from him. Wow. That IS a mean teacher.

Here is where the mean teachers have discovered that all the kids have run away (see Jaxon's "Oh no!" with his head in his hands) and decide to go looking for them.

In the end they all work together to get home. The teachers promise to be nice and the kids promise to be good.

It was quite the entertaining opera and fun to watch. The only bad thing is the first four lines of the opera have been stuck in my head for the last five days. Even upon waking at five in the morning, I find those four lines running through my head. It was quite a catchy tune. Here are a couple of clips from his opera. The first one is the first of the opera (the part that has been stuck in my head the last few days). The second one is when the teachers finally find the kids. Just know that this song may be stuck in your head the next several days!
