Weekly Update December 3 - 7


Another busy week is upon us! Last week students were busy trying on costumes and practicing for the concert. We will rehearse again this week both at school and at the Yates. It is going to be a great concert again this year!

We will continue to focus on Advent and Christmas this week. I am posting the December Spelling lists and What 1B is Learning in December below.

Christmas Concert Information:

Our class is the Nativity scene and all students are wearing full costumes so very little of what they wear underneath will be seen. It will get very warm under the costume, so a dark, short sleeved t-shirt and pants should work fine. There is no need to go shopping as you likely have many appropriate choices in your closet!!

Dates to remember:

Dec 3 - Staff meeting - early dismissal for students @ 2:35
Dec 5 - Concert rehearsal at Yates 9:00-2:00
Dec 5 - Christmas Concert at Yates @ 7:00
Dec 6 - Christmas Concert at Yates @ 7:00
Dec 7 - Advent Celebration by Div II Choir
