My Project

Our school has been reading a book about a mouse that wants to use her voice. At first, she thinks she’s too loud and talk. At the end, she feels good about herself and feels tall and proud. The lesson in the book is to be yourself and feel good about yourself. The students have been rehearsing for parts and dressing up in costumes to portray the parts. The students are playing in how they want the set to look and what props they want in the play . They will perform in front of school.
