PLAY TIME...

The students rehearsed their lines, made props, and today put on their plays in class.  They were very cute!  There were two plays, The Sword in the Stone (A King Arthur's legend) and The Boy Who Cried Wolf (an Asesop's fable).  We discussed fluency, performing for an audience, stage directions, and audience behavior.  Tomorrow we will write about our performances in our reader's notebooks.  

Check out the "characters" in action....
