December update

Welcome to the Chaos of December!


First…. All 4th and 5th grade students will be at the high school auditorium tomorrow morning from 9:45 – 11:30 for our final program practice. Unless of course your child has a speaking part… then they have to board to bus as soon as they get here and they’ll practice their lines until the rest of us get there.
Performance is at 7:00 on Tuesday night. Kids need to be at the high school choir room between 6:30 and 6:45. We’ll do a warm up, get the kids on stage and then the show will begin!
Dress….. red, green or white tops and black pants. If they don’t have black pants, then clean, non-holey jeans are fine.


Sadowski's class only below:


On Wednesday ( December 7th) Sadowski's will be walking to “Generous Hands” next to Subway in Vicksburg for our community service project. Originally, we were going on the 21st…. but there was a mix-up with times at the generous hands center, so we took Mrs. Vandermei’s slot for this Wednesday as she has training that day and it probably wouldn’t be a great idea to have a sub haul kids all the way across town. Please make sure that the kids dress or bring appropriate clothes for Wednesday’s walk. It’s about 3 miles there and back. We’ll be hoofing it, but if their fingers and heads are covered, I’m sure they’ll be much happier on the walk!


Schedule books have not been done for the last week…. If your child was awesome and did them on their own ( as they will be expected to do next year) then fantastic! The reason they are not done, is that they had music practice every day at 3:00 – 3:30 last week….. so by the time they got their things and got dressed to go there was no time for us to do it formally. Today went the same way….. so tomorrow I’m going to try to have them do it in the morning.


Groups 1 and 2 got new spelling lists this week. Groups #3 still has the second half of their packet to finish, and their list for this week is inside of it. We did NOT have time to go over spelling lists or meanings today due to again….. lines practice which had half of my kids out of my room at 20 minutes intervals all afternoon…. And then music practice for all kids again was from 2:30 – 3:30. We WILL be going over their list tomorrow morning , but I did hand them out so they could study.
