Happy Thanksgiving!

We are getting so excited for our upcoming performances of the Nutcracker and How the Penguins Saved Christmas!

The note that was sent home to 2/3/Primary parents (accidentally) did not include what the Russian Bakers should wear! I'm so sorry! They need to be dressed in the same outfit as the soldiers- white shirt, black pants.


In the other sections we are also keeping busy!

Fifth grade is working on the Fifty Nifty United States. Let me tell you- It's HARD! We are currently memorized through Ohio and have sung the whole song! Ask your fifth grader to try it!

Fourth grade is busy with recorders. We are working hard on note reading and the students are quickly becoming independent. This week, we are coming up with our own sayings to remember the lines and spaces- what creative responses :).

In Kindergarten, we are working on a surprise for our teachers--- ask your student!

Early Primary has been singing lots of Thanksgiving songs- Turkey, Turkey; I wish I were a Turkey; Over the River and Through the Woods. We have continued on working on loud and soft- they are tricky!


I hope you all have a wonderful, happy Thanksgiving! Mrs. W
