First Readers' Theater Performance

Ongoing Homework: Students should remember to read for thirty minutes each evening. Remember there are no restrictions on what you choose to read, but please remember to record the date, the title of what you read, and how many pages you read.

Wildcat gave their first Readers’ Theater performance to the 2nd and 3rd graders of Sweet Briar Creek today. The scripts we read from were adapted from Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are, and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs by John Scieszka. The 6th graders gave a spirited performance, reading clearly and with emotion. On subsequent Wednesdays the 6th graders will have an opportunity to buddy up with the 2nd and 3rd graders and work on their own Readers’ Theater presentations.

In Cultural Studies the students continued work on their California Regions Project. The four groups of five students, representing, the deserts, the coast, the mountains and the Central Valley, worked on their reports, skits or posters. As a class, we discussed the importance of having a presentation that was rich with content. At the end of the class we gathered in circle and used our teamwork rubric to discuss how their group interactions were going.
