Dear Parents,
We have been busy getting ready for our Nutcracker Performance on Monday, December 22nd! We had our first practice on stage in the auditorium this week and will hopefully have a chance to practice more next week. The students did a great job and are very excited for the actual performance. We hope you can make it at 9:00am on the 22nd to enjoy all the hard work that has gone into it! If possible, please have your child wear black bottoms and red tops on the day of the performance.
We are also really looking forward to going to the Nutcracker Ballet on Wednesday. Please be sure to have your child eat a nice, big breakfast that morning because we will not be eating snack or lunch during normal school hours. If your child attends the After School Program, please send a lunch for him/her to eat there. More information about the trip will be going home on Monday. Chaperones should be at the school by 8:30am and will be riding on the bus with us.
The students have been busy writing in their journals, completing their “Good Night” books, making Nutcracker projects, and practicing the letters and sounds we've been learning in Fundations. We will be practicing our last two lowercase letters right after the holiday break and will then start working more with the uppercase letters.
We have also been reading and comparing several different versions of the Gingerbread Man story, including the Gingerbread Girl, Boy, Man, and Cowboy. We still have the Gingerbread Baby, Pirate, and Friends left to go!
This certainly is a busy and exciting time of the year. The children have been doing a wonderful job concentrating on their work and learning new things. We wish you all luck as you finish preparing for the upcoming holidays!
Have a great weekend!
Melanie Duncan and Kerry Marsh
