Fourth Grade Visits Morocco

This week in the library, fourth graders visited the country of Morocco. After learning a bit about this country’s geography and culture, we shared a beautifully illustrated adaptation of a Moroccan folktale, The Bachelor and the The Bean (by Shelley Fowles). Scaffolding upon this reading, the students then participated in skit-on-the-spot that I wrote for them, putting my own twist on the story. We performed the skit multiple times to allow the students to experiment with different voices and intonation.
Please make sure your overdue books are returned tomorrow before the break!

Happy Reading!
