By Tuesday you should have all heard from me once or twice by e-mail (except for a few of you that have come in or I wrote a note). If you haven't heard from me, please check to make sure that I haven't ended up in your 'junk'. For every year but for this year especially, I want to make sure that I am communicating on a regular basis and no one feels like they don't know their child's progress. If you would like to meet with me, just say the word. Otherwise, you can always reach me at [email protected] I will always make time for parents.
Our Christmas performance is this Friday between recess and lunch (I know I've been saying this for 3 weeks now but maybe not everyone has heard yet). We should be ready to go by 10:45 and done by about 11:00. We haven't actually had a practice on the stage yet as it is just set up now so I'll update if it will take longer. We have discussed 'costumes' with the kids (nothing fancy) but the general rule of thumb is black pants (or dark if they don't have black) then the colour of the shirt changes depending on what they are. Dancers aim for a brown shirt (they are reindeer), St Nick's -red, Elves-red or green, Mr or Mrs. Darling - pajamas, slippers, housecoat. The kids know who they are. They may very well be a character AND a dancer. There are a few and they know what to bring. If kids don't have those colours, it won't matter. We'll find something.
These last two weeks are about gearing up for the Christmas break so lots of relaxed, fun Christmas activities. But, since I do have a Grinchy side......., there is a Science test on the last week. The kids have the notes for it, it is just a matter of studying. It is on electricity. We also have a small math quiz for my Math class in that last week. It is on addition and subtraction with regrouping. Other then that, I will endeavour to keep things a little bit lighter as the excitement level grows and grows.
