Here are a few things that are coming up in the next several weeks.
*First is our field trip to the Nutcracker on Monday, December 7th. We have enough certified drivers to transport the students, as well as a few extra parents that wanted to tag along. The parents that I have coming are Josh’s mom, Curtis and Isaac’s mom, Austin’s mom, Steevie’s mom, Emma’s mom, Kru’s mom, Sadie’s mom, and Aspen’s mom. Please plan to meet at the school no later than 11:15 PM if you are driving. We should return to the school by about 2:15 PM. Students should come to school in clothes appropriate for attending a ballet performance.
*Next, there is a holiday show at the school on December 10th. Here is more information from Ms. Connie, our music teacher:
Howdy MMA!
We are incredibly excited to celebrate this Holiday season with music this year! Yay! Upper and Lower El are putting on a Holiday show on Thursday, December 10th and you and your family are invited! Since there are so many children we have decided to have half of the children perform at 6 o’clock and half at 7 o’clock. If your child’s last name starts with the letters A-L they will perform at 6:00pm. If the child’s last name starts with the letters M-Z they will perform at 7:00pm. If you have multiple last names for multiple children in your family, then you get to choose which concert you go to! This will only effect some of you. I would like to encourage the children to dress in their most beautiful holiday clothing! Shirt, tie, slacks for boys and dresses with tights or leggings for girls if you have them. I am sure this will be a memorable experience for them as they dress up and put on their smiling faces for this wondrous occasion! Happy Holidays!
Hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Connie Starks
*The International Festival for Upper El is on December 16th from 9:00-11:00 AM. Parents are invited to attend. I would like the Continent/Country reports and display boards turned in by December 15th. Some students told me today that they lost their research packets. Here is a link to print them at home. Country report Continent Research Please let me know if that doesn’t work. I am technologically challenged at times. Also, if your child plans to bring food to share with their presentation, please let me know ahead of time so that I can make sure it meets our food guidelines.
*The science fair is coming up on February 17th. As of now, I have only received two project proposal forms. If you need help choosing a topic for your project, please visit www.sciencebuddies.org. Here you will find a wealth of information and ideas for participating in the science fair.
*I am still missing a few book reports. Please encourage your children to complete these and get them turned in!
Please let me know if you have any questions about any of these upcoming events. Thanks for your support!
