What educators are saying

My students loved these skits, especially while wearing the 3 corner hats they made. I was thrilled there were different acts with just a few speaking parts at a time. Thank you.
Best readers' theatre! The kids enjoyed making props and practicing. We had parents and other grades come to watch each act. They did amazing!
