Cranston Grade 1 - Room 71

I forgot to mention in my previous blog that I told the students that they may dress their part if they would like to do so to perform our reader's theatre in the assembly tomorrow.

Tomorrow, Friday, February 23rd, there will be an assembly at 10:00 am.  There will be 5-6 classes presenting their learning during this assembly.  Our class will be presenting "Andrew's Loose Tooth" in a reader's theatre format.  It is not a play.  The students will be standing in a line taking turns reading their lines from the script.  If you are attending the assembly, I suggest you come early as the gym can only accommodate a certain number of people.  Please help your child practice their lines for the final time tonight if you are able. Thanks, Julie
