Reflect & Connect 12/2

Dear Performance Fans,

This past week has been very stressful at 123 Elementary. For me, it is finals week with a project due every night, and for my focus group we changed from Book Club to having a Readers Theater. The children are so excited to put on a play for the other second and third grade focus groups! This is my first readers theatre so I am learning with my students. They have been practicing their lines this week and tomorrow we are making props for their play. I am very excited for them to perform but I am also very nervous. I am nervous because I gave them their lines last Wednesday and our assistant principal said she is going to invite their parents to come in this Wednesday to watch them perform! We still have to make props and learn how to act out what we are reading. I am very excited but am also impatient that we could not have more time for my students to practice. I expect them to try their best, and to most importantly have fun with readers theatre! After all thats what it is for, fun fluency.

Wish us luck! :)
