Video's from our reader's theater performance 5-6-14

Here are the videos of each second grade class performing their reader's theater scripts.  Mr. Buss' class wrote their own version to the story Stone Soup called Stone Sundaes.  Ms. Bunton's class wrote their own version to the story of the Three Little Pigs.  Mrs. Cacheiro's class wrote their own version to Cinderella.

Thank you to all of the parents and guardians that came to support our hard workers, we hope you enjoyed the show.  Remember, you can help improve your child's fluency by reading aloud with your child each night.

Readers Theater Performance

Hello parents!  We sent home invitations this past week to invite you to our readers theater performance this upcoming Tuesday morning, but if you didn't get one, look for it Monday in your child's take home folder.  We will be getting together in Ms. Bunton's room, room 256, at 8:30.

We've been focusing on determining the moral of he fables that we've read, most noteworthy the stories of Stone Soup, Cinderella, and The Three Little Pigs.  With that being said, our project we've worked on included the students writing their own version of one of the previously mentioned fables, and this is what they will be performing.  Students participating in this highly motivating performance have worked on increasing their reading fluency and  accuracy.

We hope to see you there but if not, look back here for pictures and/or video of your children hard at work!!
