Good afternoon!

We spent a large part of today getting ready for the Christmas concert which is quickly approaching!  We got the chance to practice individually, as well as a whole school, and it is beginning to look great!  In between practicing the children worked with calendars (grade two) and counting real money (grade one) in math, we read more of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and worked with suffixes and root words in language.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes, practice weekly spelling words for Thursday's test (found on the blog because the spelling books did not go home), Language pages 63 - 64.

Important information:  Tomorrow is the officially dress rehearsal at Heritage Glen.  The entire school is going to do a final run through before we leave.  This is starting at 8:45am sharp.  For the dress rehearsal tomorrow our class needs to come to school dressed in their pajamas and their robes, as this is their costume for the night of the concert.  Those students that have not brought in their antlers for the play must have them tomorrow.
Please check Mrs. Deras' blog for any last minute reminders regarding the concert. 
The children will also require a fancy jacket and hat to be worn for the french song at the end of the concert.  The children are supposed to be going on a fancy evening stroll, so a dress coat, nice hat, nice furry gloves, and/or a fur muff would be great to be worn during this scene.  Please send these in with your children for the dress rehearsal tomorrow.
January pizza forms went home with your child tonight and are due back by January 4th.
For our party on Friday morning, Nathan is going to be bringing in chips and Shannon is going to be bringing in a candy cane loaf for the class.  Thank you!

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
