My proposal is to have a Readers Theater with the third grade class I am working with. We have plenty of books stored in a Title VII cabinet somewhere, but I need to search. It would end up kind of like a radio show, with sound effects and jingles. We would need to use the teacher's laptop, or maybe have groups of kids work on desktops and then join the projects together on the teacher's laptop. Since almost all of our kids are English Learners, this is excellent practice for pronunciation and fluency.
I get to be the consultant and extra teacher in the room, so management is not so much an issue, except, I don't have control over the schedule and can only come in when they can make time for me.

OK-it has taken way longer than expected to complete. The kids are reading Chato's Kitchen. Kind of cute to see them try to add a 'cholo' accent. But being English Learners, there is a lot of retakes for not reading words correctly. Sorry, but we are working as fast as we can. Lots of tests, and other activities cut into available time to pull students.
