Readers' Theater with Aesop's Fables

Are your students ready for a break? Are they getting a bit stir crazy? Are you???

I know I'm ready for a break, and so are my students. We are in "test prep" mode, and they are feeling the stress. So, I turn to readers' theater, since it gives students a chance to act, talk, and engage a bit more with their reading and fluency. And Aesop's Fables are perfect for these long days. The scripts are short, have great themes, and are loved by so many students. These scripts are designed with small groups in mind - only 4-6 parts each!

I have tons of these scripts just waiting for you and your students! Each icon below is a link to the product in my store (The Owl Spot). As always, bundles are the BEST way to save money.

My Mega Bundle for Aesop's Fables scripts is AMAZING! There are 20 scripts included, so you'll never run out of the fun.

Other Bundles Available (includes lesson plans, graphic organizers for comprehension, and activities and/or crafts!):

Now, onto planning for some fun plays!

What's on your Teacher Wish List?

If you're like me, you ALWAYS have a teacher wish list!  Well, tomorrow and Tuesday are the days to check that wish list and purchase some items that will help you be a better teacher and your students perform in the classroom!

My Teachers Pay Teachers store (as well as thousands of other TpT stores) are on sale for Cyber Monday and Tuesday. That's right! This sale is the biggest sale (apart from the Back to School sale) that TpT has. So, load up that cart, save some money in the process, and get some of those classroom needs (and wants)!

Check out these two new products that I have that I can't wait to use with my students in the next couple weeks!

This bundle includes activities for teaching different kinds of lines (Ornament Craftivity), quadrilaterals (Nutcracker Craftivity), triangles and angles (Christmas Tree Farm project, and Tessellations (Ugly Sweater Craftivity). Super fun and engaging for students, and packed with Geometry content. Definitely a score for the coolest teacher doing these activities!  Each activity is sold separately, but the bundle saves you an extra 20% 

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Christmas-Traditions-Reading-Passages-and-Activities-Bundle-3512826

These reading passages are sure to pull in the Christmas/holiday spirit as your students learn about why we do certain traditions. Each reading passage comes with a focused graphic organizer for identifying the main idea and supporting details, as well as comparing what people used to do and how it has changed over time. Comprehension questions are included to help you assess reading comprehension for nonfiction texts. And if that wasn't enough fun, a craft and/or activity is included to make the holiday season a joy for your students. These crafts can either be done in class or sent home for family activity. Each tradition is listed separately in my store, but the bundle saves you money! Score!
