We have been making our life-size Nutcracker characters that will soon be beautifully displayed on our classroom walls and in the hallway. I trace each student as a Nutcracker character and then students work together with other students in their group to decorate them. We have been very impressed with the students’ cooperation and hard work. We also kept busy this week working on our innovations, writing in our journals, learning poetry, decorating our gingerbread boys and girls, and reading stories. The students have been doing a great job working hard and focusing, even during this busy and exciting time of the year!
Our very own version of the Nutcracker Ballet will be on Monday, December 22nd at 8:45am. You won’t want to miss it! We will be practicing the dances for the Nutcracker and will be focusing on our Russian Peppermint dance for the performance a lot next week. If possible, we would like the children to wear red tops and black bottoms on the day of the performance but any combination of red and black would be fine.
There are quite a few class books that the children have created together that have not returned back from homes yet. Please send them back in with your child as soon as you read them so someone else can take them home.
