Greetings,
Now that the play is cast we will begin blocking rehearsals. Thank you Mr. Panowicz for stepping up to be our stage manager. Regular practice with your actor is a must from here on out. Actors need to study their parts out loud and know their cues as well. We will be expecting to begin rehearsing without the book (memorized) after Christmas break.
Please be sure to send in your wreath sale commitment form. Kick-off was Wednesday and the kids are really excited. Please help them so we can reach our goal to fund our trip in June.
I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your student's progress and goals for the year. Please see the conference form in today's Thursday envelope and confirm your appointment. If you are unable to make it for your scheduled time, please email me and I'll do what I can to accommodate your schedule.
Students should be reading AR nightly. With our busy schedule in fifth grade, we have very little class time for AR. Students are expected to earn 30 points this trimester. Thanks for you support!
Pax,
Marilyn
