Melissa Kent, the librarian at Oakdale Primary School and I have spent months working with the third grade classes to create puppet theater from four books. The stories we have chosen align with third grade pacing guides and all focus on problem solving. Each play is taken from a different genre of story.
We did a dress rehearsal on November 30th and will have our first performance on Tuesday, December 7th. These photos were taken from the dress rehearsal. Above, is a photo of the puppet performance of "WOLF!" by Becky Bloom.Below, is the shadow puppet show of "Flossie and the Fox" by Patricia McKissack.
