A Look Ahead: This coming week will be this group of students last week in dance. We will be reviewing everything from the last quarter as well as having a little end of quarter fun.

Highlights from Last Week: I have really enjoyed and love seeing each child grow in dance in their own individual way! Love watching 4th and 5th graders performing their own versions of a musical of their choice.

Reminders: Please remember if your child has dance to wear clothing that is great for moving while still keeping in mind the NCCAE dress code.

Have loved having each child in dance this quarter and sad to see them go! Mrs. Majewski

Welcome to Drama Class Second Quarter with Mx. Flannery at NCCAE!

A Look Ahead: Next unit is "Using the Mind and Body in Drama Class." Talk to your child about ways they can control their body and focus their mind in a classroom.

Highlights from Last Week: Last unit was SOARing in Drama Class. Ask your child how they can be safe, organized, always respectful, and responsible in Drama Class.

Reminders: Ask your child about how they can SOAR to help the class earn 21 Stars for a party and earn an owl buck for the Hootie Train. Give your child a photo of your family to bring to class to posted on the Drama Class Wall.
