Highlights of the Week 6-5-15

Hi families,

This week we've ecstatically practiced our plays. Next week we'll begin to practice on the stage in our room. Please send in clothes for costumes on Monday in a bag labelled with your child's name. We'll leave these in cubbies until we need them.

Tuesday morning (9:30-10:30) we'll be making props/headpieces/accessories. We also still need help with face painting before the plays on Thursday, from 12:30-1:30. Please let me know if you can help with either of these things!

This week we worked with Ms. Campbell to sketch out and paint scenery for our plays. It looks amazing and our class showed great cooperation.

We really hope you'll be able to come see our plays on Thursday the 11th from 1:30-2:15. (We will be starting promptly at 1:30 since we have to be done in time for the All School Meeting at 2:30.) If that time really doesn't work for you we do have a dress rehearsal that classes are attending from 10:45-11:15.


This week we also did more opinion writing, planted potatoes in the garden, observed changes in our control and variable plants in experiments, and read many plant themed books. On Friday afternoon we had a wonderful time together at Wrightsville Beach. 

On a separate note, teachers have been asked to begin packing in preparation for construction this summer. All classrooms must get emptied for the summer. We had a class meeting preparing kids to see the classroom look different every day with things coming down from the walls, books and materials being packed, and boxes piling up. The goal is to have just furniture and a few essentials (paper, markers, pencils, etc) in the rooms by the last day. I'm hoping to do the majority of the packing next Saturday, June 13th. If anyone has a spare hour or two and wants to help me pack, please stop by!
