Good afternoon!

We started off the day today working on language.  The children worked on special sounds, opposites, writing sentences, and ABC order.  During math today the children worked on a review of adding and subtracting.  We had a drama practice period today where the whole school came together to rehearse for the Grandparents' Day concert.  It went really well, but there is definitely still practicing that needs to be done!  The children also went to music, french and P.E classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, Letters and Sounds page 138 - 139, and math page 182 - 183.

Important information:  Please see Mrs. Deras' blog for important information about the upcoming concert.  Our class does not have any speaking roles, but we are responsible for the actions that will take place throughout the play.  Here are some examples of actions that our class needs to have ready for the play.  These actions go in order of the play and can be inputted into the script your child already has at home.  Please make sure they are practicing at home so they know when/how to do their actions.

They are to be SCARED, and HUDDLING their children when the rats attack.

They are to be IRATE AND FIST SHAKING/FINGER POINTING at the Mayor and Council.

They are to act SURPRISED when the Piper shows up.

They are to be SHOCKED  when the rats follow him into the river.

They  are to be HAPPY, REJOICING with their children when the rats leave

They are to MOCK the Piper.

Afterwards they are to be HORRIFIED at the children who are to follow him.

And finally they are to be EXTREMELY SADDENED at the fact that all the children have left Hamelin.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
