What reading curriculum do you use within your school district? As you may already know, I'm teaching 2nd grade this year and our district uses StoryTown curriculum. One thing I love about the 2nd grade curriculum is that every 5th week is a "review" week and we do not have a story. Instead we have a reader's theater that the students get to perform.
Our first reader's theater was "Neighborhood News" and the students really enjoyed learning about news casts. For this first production we performed as an entire class with a couple students choral reading each part.
The students practiced throughout the week, created their own back drops and we performed for one of the Kindergarten classes on Friday.
I was so proud of how well the students worked together, read aloud, practiced and performed!!
