โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Julia C. says, “I have found it difficult to find reader’s theatres that are short and with few characters. This is perfect for the reading expectation but also to teach about the science concept on which the script is based on. ”
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธChelsea G. says, “Fun and different to use in science!”
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Amanda B. says, “Everything you need for the unit!”
โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ Baylor L. says, “I loved the play, and so did my class. We taped the questions around the room and they walked around with clip boards answering the questions. It was a lot of fun, and it helped with fluency, science, and other ELA standards.”
