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!
