*No, we're not studying New Orleans, or rag-time Jazz (although I'd like to!), but our TR-Six students have been working on a Research Report on Saints. Each student has chosen a saint to research, on the internet, and in books, and then prepare a 5-6 paragraph written report. The report is due Monday, December 4th. Your son/daughter has an outline of how the report should be prepared and what information each paragraph should contain. They also have the rubric which shows how their Saint Report will be marked. Ask to see both of these as well, as the report they are working on. Please help him/her to finish the report for Monday.
**Christmas Concert rapidly approaches (Thursday, December 14th, 7:00p.m.) and our TR-Six students are the stars! Literally! The play that all elementary classes are jointly working on is called "The Tiniest Christmas Star", and our class has all the speaking parts, and yes, they are all stars Of course some of them play the parts of Mary, Joseph, Shepherds and Wise Men as well. We have begun practising the play, and ask for your help in finding appropriate costumes. Please ask your child what part he/she has and if he/she is Mary, Joseph, a shepherd or Wise Men, help him/her to find an appropriate costume. We think we will have costumes for all of our students playing "Stars".
All TR-Six students are asked to wear black pants/skirts and white tops for the concert since they are performing as a Band as well. It looks to be a great concert!
***Report Cards go home today, Friday, December 1st. Please take the time to go over the report with your child and have your child tell you about his/her progress.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about any of this, or if you wish to have a parent-teacher conference, please call me at the school 345-3373.
