Reader's Theatre

The children performed the King in the Kitchen, a play featured in our Reading Streets reading anthology.  The goal was to strengthen fluency and expression through performance.  The children opted to play parts not typical for their gender so that they could further push their power of voice and expression.  Therefore, Connor played the part of the Princess, Megan played the King, and Stephanie played the Peasant who seeks to marry the princess.  The other roles where Daniel playing the Duke and 1st Kitchen Maid, Kevin playing the Guard and 2nd Kitchen Maid, and Sara playing the Cook. It was performed for all three kindergarten classes and was a huge success!
