Henny Penny

As we finished up our unit on Fables and Fairy Tales, we all enjoyed several sessions of Readers' Theater.  There were four fabulous presentations:  Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Gingerbread Man, Henny Penny and The Giant Turnip. The children worked in small groups to practice their speaking parts, to coordinate their actions and to create colorful sets.  Our I CAN statements for this work included:

I CAN read fiction.

I CAN identify the moral of a fable. 

I CAN retell a story. 

I CAN read with expression. 

Here is a photo of some second grade friends performing Henny Penny.  I will post more Readers' Theater photos next week.
