Dear Huckleberry Parents,
This is a very busy week!! Tomorrow is the play for the after-school drama class. It will be during the assembly that starts at 12:00. On Thursday, both Huckleberry classes will be presenting the play, The Bremen Town Musicians. Check last week’s blog for costume information for your child. The play starts promptly at 2:00. On Friday, our class will be enjoying a time of FLOP AND READ. Each child may wear his/her pajamas and is being encouraged to bring a blanket and small pillow. Please be sure things are labeled and placed in a plastic bag. We will also be enjoying popcorn and juice and doing a winter craft. We look forward to this time of relaxing and reading after a very busy week. The students are making so much progress in reading and I don’t want to lose ground over the holidays. Please find time to have your child read to you 15 minutes a day. Until this skill is mastered, it can easily be forgotten. We have a saying in our classroom, “Those who practice, succeed.” Our goal is for all to succeed! I look forward to seeing as many as possible at our class play on Thursday. Enjoy your week!

Dear Huckleberry South Families,
No doubt you are aware that the two Huckleberry classes are joining together to present the play that they have retold called The Bremen Town Musicians. We are working purposefully to be ready for the performance. Students will be musicians, actors or the set design and stage crew. Every job is equally important! Musicians are practicing, actors are learning their parts and the set design and stage crew is busy at work creating the backdrops for the play. Please mark your calendar for the performance which will be on Thursday, December 13th at 2:00 PM. You won’t want to miss it! On Friday, December 14, the Huckleberry Classes will be joining together for the first annual FLOP AND READ! Each child is encouraged to bring his/her favorite blanket and small pillow for a time of reading together with a buddy. Popcorn will be served and the reading event will be followed by a seasonal art project. Stuffed animals must stay safely at home. The students can’t wait to enjoy this seasonal fun activity. I’ve encourage everyone to work hard the next to weeks so that they will be able to read even more exciting books by the time of the event! Feel free to send in a labelled seasonal book to share with others or students may choose from one in the classroom. This should be a highlight of the season! As a class, over the next two weeks we are finishing our study on communities. Students have become much more aware of the differences between how people live around our city and the world. More importantly, they have learned that we all need the same basics in our lives. Living in this country has afforded us all many special things that should not be taken for granted. In the years ahead, our students will add more details to this new found knowledge and become more aware of the global community. For now, they are off to a great start. Next, at the first, on to space of the year! During this very busy time of year it can be very difficult to find time to review sight words, listen to your child read and/or work on a little math. Spending just 10-15 minutes a day working together can make quite a difference. Please let me know if I can support you at home in any way. It’s so rewarding to watch the children grow!! Enjoy the season! Dainette Harris |
