Our first grade teachers are really into plays and are spending a lot of time on play production. I don't mean Readers Theater, I mean all out costumes and major play production. I am worried that all this time spent doing plays will impact their academic progress. I teach second grade and am already seeing weakness in reading and math. I don't want to "rain on their parade" but I also don't want to have an added burden of having to catch these kids up on what they should have learned in first grade. Can anybody tell me where I can get info on research about the negative impact of full production plays on academic progress?
