It Takes Talent!

We finished our construction-calendar-year on April 29th, 2013. But before students let out for the summer, we managed to pull off a very fun and collaborative Readers' Theater production called, "It Takes Talent!". Students worked on performing a piece they had to memorize, which aided them in reading fluency skills in an authentic and engaging way. I encourage performance-based reading to all students/teachers who struggle with fluency, public speaking, enunciation/diction, and reading confidence. Check out our performance!
