December 1, 2014

Happy December - and Happy Birthday to Hanna!

Reminders for this week include:

1.  We'll be swimming in the morning this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday; remember to send swim gear and a warm hat for our walk back to the school.  Thanks to all the parents who volunteered to help out in the change rooms and escorting us to and from the pool!

2.  Our school concert night is Wednesday, the 17th at 7:00.  (Doors open at 6:30.)  The dress rehearsal for our concert is Tuesday the 16th at 9:00 am.  Our first grade students will be performing with the grade two class.  Nothing special is required for clothing; students can just dress in their Christmas finery. However, we have a boogie song (yeehaw!) that would look great with the students wearing sunglasses.  Please send a pair of sunglasses asap so we can begin practicing with them.  Thanks.

3. Our performance for the Chamber of Commerce is this Friday at the Sawridge.  Please have your child at the Sawridge by 6:45.  We'll meet in the Green Room (boardroom #2) - in the basement of the hotel. We sing at 7:00 and should be finished by 7:15 or 7:20, but there'll be milk and cookies to enjoy after we sing, so leaving the Sawridge by 7:30 or a bit later might be a realistic prediction.  Parents: thanks for driving your singing sensation to the Sawridge!  Of course, parents are most welcome to watch us sing - and to join us for milk and cookies post-performance!

4. The book that went home in today's golden envelope does not need to be returned to school.  Your at-home libraries just got a little more valuable!

5. We've begun a "word of the day" program in Room Four.  Words introduced so far include: initial, facetious, repast, famished, and fragrant.  We'll be jotting the new words down in the agendas, so prepare to be dazzled daily by your youngster's growing vocabulary!
