Second Grade Reader's Theater- The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs

"Everyone knows the story of the Three Little Pigs...or at least they think they do!"

For our last post for our unit on Reader's Theater, we have a silly and entertaining story. Martha, Caitlin, Andrea, Jadin, Harrison, Corey, Jaziah and Nicholas have worked very hard on this story titled The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. It is a great story from the wolf's perspective on how the whole thing went down. Enjoy this funny video!

For our last group in Reader's Theater, Harper, Kayla, James and Kyliegh have been working on a play titled Helping People in Need. This is a wonderful play reminding us of the importance of helping out in our community. This play inspired our class to collect food for our local Semaritan Ministries. We donated 8 bags of groceries! We hope you are inspired to do the same after watching this video.
