The Great Friday Afternoon Event

Last Friday, we had our first weekly Great Friday Afternoon Event!  Our class was divided into four groups: newscast, play, declamation and poetry.    

The newscast group shared several interesting articles from the news and gave the weather forecast for the weekend.  

  The play group wrote and performed their own play, The Black Hole

The declamation group read a chapter from a Magic Tree House book.

The poetry group selected and read poems to the class; they even sang a song!


 The students will stay with their group for the next three weeks, having a chance to present each category.  After the groups have all done participated in poetry, declamation, play, and newscast, we will switch groups.  Our first GFAE was a great success!  Everyone did a fantastic job of working with a group and presenting with a loud and clear voice!  I can't wait until this Friday! 
What was your favorite part about the Great Friday Afternoon Event?  
Which category are you looking forward to presenting?
