There are no Spelling words or Reader stories for this short week. Instead, we will be practicing a short Readers Theater play called Kate Goes to the Fun Fest. In Readers Theater, the focus is on depicting a character with voice and expression - the action of the story is not physically acted out. We will be practicing our play on Monday and Tuesday. The script will likely come home for practice on Monday or Tuesday, unless the kids really surprise me with their expressive depictions of their characters! Most will share a role with another reader, so it is important that they read at a good pace - not too fast, not too slowly. Please make sure scripts are returned each day they come home. On Wednesday, parents are invited to attend a brief (15 minute?) performance at 9 a.m. . We hope to see you here!
Remember, Wednesday is an early dismissal day, at 11:30 a.m. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
