I must begin by saying I have readers Theater on my mind tonight and I am feeling kind of one the creative side. I also must also say that I have been a fan of Sandra Boynton for years like since I was three.
I love the Christmas Parade by Sandra Boynton. To start I love that there is such a rhythm to the book. It feels like you are marching in the parade as you read it! I also love that there is no one main character. The story purely focuses on the joy of christmas and what a fun fun time it is.
Lately, I have been thinking that putting on a class play would be a very fun thing to do. I think this would be fun because the students could make their own fun props as well as each having a small speaking part. It would be a good way to introduce the idea of plays to children and also get them to preform in front of the class. I think I am going to work on this idea and start building it in to something special.
Do your students perform plays at any time during the school year? Do you use readers theater in the classroom? After Christmas I will be teaching a class to gifted and talented students on readers theater. I think this will be so much fun and I can not wait to have this great experience!
Happy Holidays!
