Happy Friday!

I’m happy to share these videos of the plays the students worked so hard on.  They worked together as a group, after doing a close read of the play “Little Red Riding Hood” and analyzing the cast of characters, dialogue, character’s personality traits, stage directions, and purpose.  They were able to work independently to decide on how they wanted to perform this.  Here they are!

PS. I apologize for 2 of the videos were cut off by a few seconds due to the amount of space I had on my phone and I didn’t realize it stopped recording until after.

Happy December Parents!

Just a look ahead at next week:

Monday– Pajama Day!  Students can wear their favorite pj’s to school, please no slippers 🙂

Friday– Haigh Spirit Day!!  Wear your Haigh shirt or anything with an owl.

Little Red Riding Hood presentations!!

On Monday, your child will be bringing home a Reader’s Theater rubric, along with their Little Red Riding Hood plays. They should take time each night to practice their character lines. They have been working hard at practicing this play with their assigned group.  We have been studying narrative dramas and have closely looked at all the structural elements that go into a playwright.  Each child has a character (or 2) and have been working on their delivery (expression, fluency, gestures, character traits, etc).

They can bring in any props they feel would suit their character and they may dress up to reflect their character.  I will videotape each presentation and post to the blog after next Friday!  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Have a wonderful weekend!

I’ll be posting weekly Spelling Words and the Newsletter that I send home every Monday on the blog, in case they don’t make it home 😉

I just wanted to share out some pictures from our Reading Buddy sessions.  We visit Ms. Dobronski’s 1st grade class on Wednesday afternoons.  The kids love getting a chance to read a book to the 1st graders and helping them read a book back 🙂

For those that ordered cookies, they will be ready for pick up tomorrow, Thursday, November 17th from 2:30-3:30.  Due to lack of refrigeration, cookies should be picked up ASAP to prevent spoilage.

Parents can come through the office and the orders will be distributed in the hallway across from the cafeteria.

Good Afternoon Parents!
