Ms. Riccardi's Class
Norwood  Avenue Elementary School
Port Jefferson Station, New York

 

Our class decided to take an old favorite sing-song book, Little Rabbit Foo Foo by Michael Rosen, and turn it into a play. After we wrote the play, we decided it was too good to just read so started rehearsing for 2 performances in front of our family and friends. We had loads of fun and took some pictures and a short video to share with you. Hope you enjoy it!

Lights! Camera! Action!
