Lincoln 5th graders attended Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks at Playhouse Square in Cleveland on February 26, 2025.
The production is based on the award-winning book by Jason Reynolds.
Prior to attending the play, the 5th graders read the book as part of their SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) lessons. They learned the importance of viewing situations from multiple perspectives and having empathy for others because of the interconnection between people in a community
Students’ understanding of the book was enhanced through the visual representation of the play. Their attendance was made possible because of the Schermer Trust and DiYorio foundation grant and the Big Yellow School Bus grant from the Ohio Arts Council.
