Friday Wrap-Up

Happy Friday, families. We had a jam-packed day of Earth day activities and musical practice. You first grader should be exhausted today. Have your child tell you about the 3 R's we learned about today. We spent the morning reading and watching The Lorax. Have your child tell you the plot of this earth-friendly tale. This week, we have also been talking about character, setting and plot. We made the character of the Lorax, we are working on creating the awesome setting. Stay tuned to see how they turn out. Are you ready for a week of madness next week? We will be sending a note home early next week to help you stay on top of ALL of the activities we have ahead. It is going to be essential that your child gets LOTS of rest in order to be successful with next week's action. Tuesday we will be traveling to Moonlight Elementary to visit our pen pals and spend the morning doing various activities with them. We will return by lunch. Wednesday and Thursday we will spend the afternoon at Wheatridge Middle school in rehearsal for our big show next Thursday. Thursday April 23 is our MUSICAL! The kids will need to arrive between 6-6:30 for make up. The show starts at 7. More information will come home next week. Then, Friday is our CARNIVAL! We are still in need of helpers and donations (small bags of goldfish crackers or small gently used toys/stuffed animals. Thank you so much for your help in advance. We are going to be wiped out by the end of next week, but it will be LOTS of busy fun! Some of my performers brought home their costume pieces today. Others will be sent next week. PLEASE take very good care of your pieces. They will be returned after the show next week. If you have any questions about what your child is supposed to wear for the musical, please let Mrs. Neeley or myself know. Have a wonderful weekend together. Get some rest and be ready for our CRAZY, BUSY week next week!
