Readers Theatre
Today we continued practicing our Readers Theatre scripts. Some groups were video recorded yesterday, some today and some will be tomorrow to watch back and see:
- did I use a nice strong voice so others can hear me
- did I add expression to my voice-be the character!
- did I use the punctuation to add excitement and questioning sounds to my voice? Did I make my voice raised with excitement or go up with the end of my question?
Tomorrow we are going to begin making puppets to go with our characters for the readers theatre.
Next week we will act out these puppet shows, using our same readers theatre scripts.
Letter Writing
We have been practising letter writing. We are starting by writing a letter to a classmate who has left September 28th and will not be returning to our class until March 30th. She went to China to visit grandparent's and learn more Chinese. We are also preparing for writing a letter to an author after winter break. Last year Mrs. Lagrana's class wrote to Jan Brett. We have been reading some of her books and learning how she comes up with new stories and characters. After break we will pick a different author to write a letter to.
How do I start a letter?
How do I end it?
What do I always include at the top?
Games/Entertainment/Celebrations from the past
Today we looked at some games, toys and celebrations in the past. We also got to play some games from the past.
What were the differences between games and entertainment from the past?
What is still the same?
What did I notice about games from the past?
