Week 23

I can't believe we only have one more week!  This semester has really flown by!

We missed Eli today and pray that the Thomas family is well soon.  We had a great presentation dress-rehearsal, thanks to Mrs. Stewart bringing in the costumes (we have one put aside for you, Eli).  Hopefully next week we can run through it again with costumes and props with everyone since it will be our final practice.  The kids blew me away today with how much they remembered from the last four weeks of our Orchestra and Composer study.  We played a "Family Feud" style game and they answered almost every question correctly!

Hope you all have a great week!

Week 21

We are on the home stretch!  I can't believe we only have 3 more weeks!  Another fun day of learning today, especially with the science lab comparing the three different kinds of rocks.  They enjoyed eating their creations.  We began practicing for our end of the year ceremony today...it went very well.  Rebecca Stewart has secured "Moses-like" costumes for us to borrow (thank you so much!) and I will make some "tablet -like signs" for them.  Below is the list of who is saying which commandment so you can work on them at home if you want.  I encouraged them to really utilize those presentation skills they learned this year (good eye contact, good volume and articulation, standing without fidgeting, etc.).

If your child is planning to test for Memory Master, Memory Excellence or Memory Power, please let me know so we can try to schedule a time for them to test.  I hope you all have a great week.
