Reader’s Theater
This week, the SUNSHINES
practiced READER’S THEATER!
By collaborating with Mrs.
LeGros class, the SUNSHINES
read their parts of the plays
with fluency and expression.
They performed for each
other and gave the groups 2
stars and a wish. We are
excited to perform these
plays for you on May 27th!
