Our second graders have been learning all about dramas (plays) this week! To wrap up their learning, Mrs. Zoellner’s kiddos split into two groups to perform The Great Cookie Mystery 🍪 and The Animals Save the Forest 🌳🐻!
With very little rehearsal time, the students created their own props in less than 10 minutes and did a wonderful job performing for their classmates! 🎨👏
It was great to see their creativity, reading expression, teamwork, and cooperation shine through! We definitely have some future actors and actresses in our classroom! 🌟🎭
