Book Reports

We have had a busy year and not much time to post. The students have been reading novels in class and have their choice of how to present it to the class. Of course most of them chose a skit, so here are few of them. There will be more to follow as we keep reading. I'm sorry about the sound quality. You have to turn the volume way up.


The Fairy's Mistake
The prince only wants to marry Rosella because jewels come out of her mouth when she speaks.




Much Ado About Aldo
Aldo has lost his cat, but later found it in the dresser.




Jenny Archer, Author
