Students in Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2 took their second field trip of the year when they traveled to the Kennedy Center the week after Thanksgiving break to see a performance of The Day You Begin. This world-premiere commissioned musical is based on one of the Kennedy Center Artist-in-Residence Jacqueline Woodson’s most popular picture books for children. Jacqueline Woodson is the recipient of a 2020 MacArthur Fellowship, the 2020 Hans Christian Andersen Award, the 2018 Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, and the 2018 Children’s Literature Legacy Award. Click here to learn more about Jacqueline Woodson from the Kennedy Center.
The Day You Begin, a former St. Patrick’s Book-of-the-Month, follows children who take their first steps into a place where nobody knows them yet, and that new space opens itself up to make a place for its newcomers. This poignant and heartening performance encourages us to find the courage to make new friends, hear new stories, and see our own magic in the world.
