Fourth-graders at Arbor Intermediate School showed off their creativity and reading fluency when they presented a Readers Theater play for Thanksgiving! On Wednesday, Nov. 26, students in the classes of teachers Neal Bennington and Marisa Campione put on a production of “Thanksgiving at the Tappletons’,” the story of a family whose carefully planned holiday dinner goes hilariously wrong after every key dish is accidentally ruined. In the end, they realize that being together for the holiday is what matters most. Throughout a week of preparation, Arbor students learned their lines, practiced drama warm-ups, analyzed the script, and worked on diction and projection. They also experimented with expressive reading techniques, and supported one another in building confidence. On performance day, showcased their teamwork and growing love for literacy.
