Readers' Theatre and Props

Tomorrow afternoon, fourth graders from Mrs. David's and Mrs. Taylor's rooms will be performing winter skits and poems for each other as part of a readers theatre performance. We've been building fluency, improving our intonation and expression, learning to work with a small group to build a wonderful performance, and working on performing in front of an audience.

Readers theatres typically require few, if any, props. I did tell the kiddos that if they would like to bring in very simple props (i.e. reindeer antlers, elf ears/hat, wear whatever color clothing or type of clothing their character would probably wear, etc.) they are more than welcome. I don't want anyone buying anything and imagination is a big piece of readers theatre, so simple is okay. I wanted to give everyone a heads up just in case your child is talking about needing to wear or bring something special tomorrow. I can't wait for them to perform for their peers. Thanks and have a wonderful Monday evening! Happy Holidays!

We are having a Christmas Breakfast Wednesday, December 20th, rather than a traditional afternoon party. We will be making pancakes for students and accepting parent donations for breakfast sides. If you are interested in donating, but didn’t fill out the party form with your info at the beginning of the year, please contact one of us and we will gladly add you the list.

Students will not need to eat breakfast that morning at home,unless they are early eaters. We will begin eating around 7:50.

Thanks!
