News for WK Kids - March 27, 2020
A Special Message for Wade King Kids
It is Friday! This is the day our whole school is usually together for our school meeting. We will send you "News for WK Kids' every Friday. It will have announcements, a fun movement song, and new learning, just like we would do at our Friday School Meeting.
Love,
Mrs. Johnson & Mr. Holmgren... and all the other adults at Wade King
ANNOUNCEMENT: World Down Syndrome Day was March 21st
ANNOUNCEMENT: Virtual Talent Show
Our Annual Talent Show was rescheduled for May 22nd, but we may not be able to be together in a large group so we are trying something new!
This year, Talent Show performers will submit a 30-60 second video before April 30th to share their talent. These video clips will be compiled into a 'Wade King Has Talent' video that we will either share live on May 22nd (if we can be together) or send out to Wade King families as a link.
This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to demonstrate the attributes of the I.B. Learner Profile. Talent show performers are open-minded, thinkers, knowledgeable in their area of talent, and they are definitely risk-takers. Acts previously premiered in the Talent Show include dances, gymnastics routines, instrument pieces, magic tricks, acting and skits, singing groups, joke-telling, poetry, martial arts routines, hula hooping, and more. Being able to videotape your talent opens it up to many talents that would be hard to share on a stage. Who are our rock climbers, ice skaters, etc?
Video clips need to be emailed to Ms. Adita (who is a WK parent, staff member, and PTA Vice-President) or texted to Mrs. Johnson (360-201-7801) before Thursday, April 30th. There are a few guidelines for planning your act...
- Video clips need to be 60 seconds or less.
- Students who wish to sing songs must do so acapella or have accompaniment (pre-recorded, karaoke or live instrument). No lip-synching.
- If an act includes music, parents should support students in choosing music with content that is appropriate for all ages.
