Good afternoon,
I hope everyone had a great 4-day week last week. (For those of you who were fortunate enough to be off of work on the 15th).
Winter diagnostic testing began last week, and the schedules were altered to accommodate this. This week we will be testing as well. Please make sure your children get a good night’s sleep and a hearty breakfast to keep up their testing stamina. The testing blocks are long, and we do want our students to shine.
As far as drama goes, we’ve finished Chapter 11 and we will be having our exam Monday, January 22nd. I have also told the students that anyone who becomes a member of my “300 Club” will get breakfast before school begins on Friday. To that end I had them take their chapter summaries home to study so that they have the best chance to score the 300 required.
We will start working on Chapter 10 next. I know it seems backwards, but I thought it made sense to do it this way. It’s all about character analysis. These two chapters will be invaluable when they do their March performances. As always, they will be responsible for summarizing each chapter so that I know they fully understood what we learned.
I’ve also started working with the students who are doing musical numbers for our drama showcase in March. Costumes started coming in as I am “raiding” my son’s costume room on weekends. More will be coming in on Monday. I think it gets the students excited to see them.
I sent home a note and added a note to last week’s Weebly regarding the school’s February 10th showcase. I will have the rehearsal calendar on Monday for the students and will send a Remind to you as well.
I have been after the students to keep their hands washed and to make sure they are not sharing food, drinks, or anything that can carry germs. I’ve already had students come down with this bad strain of flu. I will be on their cases to make sure they are as protected as they can be. Lots of sanitizer!
