The children were good enough to perform a readers theater version of "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" for us, after our own Thanksgiving dinner, today.
Actually, I refused to serve the pie until they agreed to perform - but once they got started they all had a good time with it. The script, which you can find by clicking here, is aimed at 3rd to 4th graders, though I think it might be better for students in the 5th-6th grades, as some of the parts require longer stretches of reading, with a few large vocabulary words thrown in. With children on the both sides of that age range, it worked pretty well for our family.
There's a blogged sized snippet of the performance below, you know - for the grandparents. I think we might have hit on a new Thanksgiving Day tradition for our family.
Happy Thanksgiving!
It's great to be a homeschooler.
This is fantastic. I will have to do this with my homeschool group.
