4th Children’s Play by Sherrill S. Cannon and Kerry E. Gallagher to be published by Lazy Bee Scripts

The Wonderful World of Weather by Sherrill S. Cannon and Kerry E. Gallagher (an elementary school teacher) has just been accepted for publication by Lazy Bee Scripts.  This is the fourth play to be published, and it is for elementary classroom students to perform (and to learn about the weather at the same time!)  It has been performed by third grade classes, and is appropriate for fourth grade as well. Each child has at least one line in the play.  Any elementary school teachers out there interested???  Here is the link:  http://www.lazybeescripts.co.uk/cgi-bin/Search_Results.asp?iSc=1381
