Our classroom is a balanced literacy classroom, with plenty of engaging opportunities for students to read with and to other students. We recently reread on of our favorite books: Mo Willem's Don't let Pigeon Drive the Bus! It was exciting to see things like speech bubbles and exclamation points used so effectively, since we have been working on using those features in our Writer's Workshop. We really got a feel for the emotions of the characters and interpreted them through a Reader's Theater based upon the book. Below are videos of our final performances: enjoy!
