Good afternoon!

We started off the day today with a whole-school dress rehearsal for the upcoming Christmas concert.  The concert is really coming together which is great to see!  All children must bring their angel costumes to school to be able to participate in the dress rehearsals.  The following students are still missing their angel costumes: Ninara, Adi, Emerald, Zuri (missing wings and halo), Sofia, Taha (missing wings and halo), and Alex.  We are having our next dress rehearsal tomorrow morning so please make sure that costumes are being sent in.  For those children in choir, choir costumes are not needed until the night of the concert.  Children should come to school wearing their red and black costumes and will change into their angel costumes after performing the choir song.  When we returned to the classroom the children copied down their new weekly spelling words and worked in their spelling books.  We also worked on language where the children practiced adding suffixes to root words, finished sentences and worked on cursive.  They also went to french and P.E classes.

Homework:  Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, practice weekly spelling words, cursive pages 64 - 65, Letters and Sounds pages 76 - 77, and Spelling workbook pages 58 - 60 (grade one) and 54 - 56 (grade two).

Important information:  TOMORROW IS NOT CASUAL DAY.  The school calendar had a mistake in the date.  Casual day is going to be on Wednesday, December 14th.

The last day of school is a half day.  Students will be dismissed beginning at 11:30.  After school care charges will begin at noon sharp.

We will be having a class party on the 16th.  If you would like to send in any treats with your child to be handed out please feel free.  The last day is also a red and green spirit day.  All children may come to school dressed in red and green.

Please have your children at school between 6:30 and 6:45 the night of the concert.  This will help to ensure that everyone is ready and organized for the concert which begins right at 7pm.

If you have any questions about the costumes or concert please don't hesitate to contact me or Mrs. Deras.

Best regards,

Mrs. Nelson
