Since we have had SNOW every week and it seems like we are here a day, and then off a day, I am behind in my lessons. I had planned on doing Readers' Theater this week as a bit of fun and fluency practice prior to vacation. We didn't get started until today! So.... today we looked at a play and how to read it. We focused on characters, setting, stage directions, and how a play gives clues for how lines should be read. They LOVED it. When I let them have a turn with the script, they were fighting over parts. Boys read as girls and girls read boys' parts. I am sharing a few pictures of the "actors" below. They will be assigned roles after vacation and we will perform 2 plays in class. After seeing them in action today, I am certain we have some future thespians in our midst.

| The groups read from a play called "Cinder Elly Plays Ball". It is a modern day Cinderella story. |
