Dinosaurs Galore!

We are having great fun in Kindergarten this month with dinosaurs!



Kindergarten Homework:
*Finish homework duotang and game by Friday.
*Read a book each night (I have started sending "word bags" home this week as well on a rotational basis. If your child has a "word bag", he or she needs to try to sound out or read the words, then return it the next day so the next child can have a turn.)
*Practice sounds and tricky words: there, they, can


Elementary Drama:
*Congratulations to those 21 lucky students who have parts in our upcoming play "Gingerbread Girl". We would have loved to have kept all of you, but it is simply impossible to take a cast of 50 away to perform, when you are dealing with the ferry, traveling and supervision. If you didn't get a part this year, please come back to drama club again in the fall (Drama club runs in the fall, followed by try-outs in January, and then play practice until the drama festival in the spring.)
*Practice will continue to be on Wednesdays from 3-4pm for those in the cast of Gingerbread Girl.


Elementary Dance Club:
*Tuesday from 3-3:45pm. We have started learning a new dance!

Drama Try-Outs!

Kindergarten Homework:
*Practice tricky words: said, here, it
*Review sounds at least twice a week.
*Read a book each night. (Please send reading bag each day, even if something happened and you didn't get to read the book.)
*Finish homework duotang and game by Friday.

Elementary Drama try-outs were from 3-4pm today. Thank you to all who tried-out. Everyone gave it their best shot, and we are very proud of you! This was the hardest year yet to pick people for parts. We had so many great actors and actresses. Hopefully, we will post the cast list on Friday. If you didn't get a part this year, please come back and join drama club again next year.

Show and Tell on Friday!

Welcome Back!


Welcome back to school. I hope everyone had a great Christmas break! We will have Show and Tell next Friday, so start thinking about what you are going to bring and tell us about.

Kindergarten Homework:
*Practice tricky words: come, some, as
*Review sounds at least twice a week.
*Read a book each night. (Please send reading bag each day, even if something happened and you didn't get to read the book.)
*Finish homework duotang by Friday.

Elementary Drama practice today from 3-4pm. This will be our last day for Drama games and activities. Next week, we will have try-outs for our next play, entitled "Gingerbread Girl". This play has 20-25 parts, so unfortunately, not everyone will be able to get a part this year.

For one of our dinosaur projects this month, we need long rolling paper tubes. If you have any left over from Christmas wrapping, could you please send them in.
