After lots pf practice during the last few weeks,the kids did a GREAT job on our play on Thursday, and we had a wonderful audience of parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, sisters and brothers, and friends.
"Welcome to our play, "The Little Red Hen!"
"We are the Cows." 
"We are the Sheep." 
"We are the Pigs." 
"We are the Rabbits." "Let us set the scene for you
By the pond there stands a mill,
And down the road a barnyard,
Where things are quiet and still.
The dog, the cat, and the duck
Are having a lovely day.
Are having a lovely day.
Now all three have stopped to listen -
Red Hen has something to say!"
"Look! I have found a grain of wheat.Just think of what I could do.
I'll dig a hole and plant it.
I just need some help from you!"
"Sorry, but I can't help you.
Why don't you go ask the cat?
I need to chase my stick now,
So out of my way. Please scat!"
Why don't you go ask the cat?
I need to chase my stick now,
So out of my way. Please scat!"
"MEOW!
I'm over-due for my cat nap.
Why don't you go ask the duck?I need my 9 a.m. rest,
I say no, but I still wish you luck."
.
"Help you dig a hole, you ask?I'm ready for a nice swim,
So off to the mill pond I go."
"They all refused to help,
They all refused to help.
She did it by herself.
She did it with no help."
"Now it's time to take the grain to the mill. Just think of what they will do.
They'll grind it into flour.
Who will help me carry it. Will you?
"Suddenly, the dog stopped chasing,
the cat rubbed her sleepy eyes,
the duck waddled up from the pond.
They all smelled a great surprise!"
"Oh, how I love homemade bread.""
"I'm tired from resting all day!"
"I want a piece from the end!"
Who will help me carry it. Will you?
"Suddenly, the dog stopped chasing,

"I'm tired from resting all day!"
"I want a piece from the end!"
You didn't help me plant the wheat,
Cut or carry the grain.
I did it all by myself.
And now you expect to eat?
I plan to eat this bread myself.
Next time maybe you'll learn
The things we want,
We have to work for and earn."
"They all refused to help,
They all refused to help,
She ate it by herself,
She ate it with no help!"
We then invited all of our guests to return to the classroom for some treats - breadsticks, of course!
Good job, kids! You were awesome! And thanks to all of you who came - you were a great audience.
