Farewell to a Great Year!

This has been a great year with reader's theater.  The kids have done a lot of work on their own.  The kids have really impressed me in their dedication to write the final reader's theater script.  I loved how the kids were also eager to edit their work.  Every time we revisited the scripts, the kids were looking to make more changes to improve their work. 

My favorite experience this year we the SKYPE visit: Melissa Stewart.  She rocked and we all learned so much from her.  Thank you Melissa for sharing your love of writing and illustrating with my students.

Thank you fourth grade for a wonderful experience this year.  Thank you to Mrs. Schmidt for all your hard work with the students.  I have learned so much from you and look forward to all the other experiences we will encounter together.

Bye bye reader's Theater

  Readers Theater has helped me with finding a long rang of voices. I also have become better at typing because of blogging. My favorite book wasThe True Story of the Three Little Pigs. I liked it because you're able to have more than one charecter. I didn't realy like the true story because it wasn't fun.

My Reader's Theater Reflection

         I love Reader's Theater! It has helped me learn to type a little faster, how to speak in front of an audience, and just reading in general. My favorite story is probably this one, The Boy Who Was Raised by Librarians. It's my favorite story so far because, I have a little more lines to read. Having more lines is cool, because I feel like I'm actually a part of the story.
        When I started Reader's Theater, I didn't know if I would like it. It was OK at first, but now I really love it. Reader's Theater is so fun, mostly because I love reading. So far, I have been a few animals, and two narrators in my Reader's Theater productions. My favorite part of Focus, is Reader's Theater! I have been through good and bad things inReader's Theater, but all in all, I love it!

Reader's Theater Reflections

When I blog more, I get better at tipping, and I know where all the key,s are. Also out of being a narrator, a butterfly, a woodchuck, a frog, a newt, and a librarian.I would have to say, I love being a librarian most of all for so many good reasons. one is, I have a lot of lines. two I like that I am doing something I realy like to do. Three I love to do it because I want to work in a library when I get older so I have an excuse to read so many good books. Thank you for lisining!

Reader's theatre :so long

I really enjoyed doing Reader's Theatre this year, it was a really good time!! Reader's Theatre was really fun. It helped me in so many ways like because of all the blogging, I'm a better typer! Plus, performing and acting are one of my most favorite things to do.This time, after all the hard work of writing the scripts, drawing the pictures, and typing the scripts, you really feel great and when the presentation is over, everyone claps. You feel like ,"Wow!" and all your hard work pays off! I'll be honest with you and it was seriously boring writing and drawing but now your work finally paid off!!!! We are going to present The Boy who was raised by Librarians . Reader's Theatre was really a fun time in FOCUS and I can' t wait to present next week!

Readers theatre recap

Honestly i have to say I changed my opinion about readers theatre. At the beggining of the year I didn't like it. I have learned to like it. From playing a supposed innocent wolf to a babysitting pirate. Readers theatre is very fun. My favorite story would be the one we are doing now. it is called Pirates don't change Diapers. It is good because I get to do a good voice. I play a pirate who is looking for the treasure he buried in his friends backyard. My least favorite story is Under the Snow i don't like it because it is non-fiction and was too short.
