Oceans of Fun

“Oceans of Fun”
1st grade program
April 24th, 2014

Please join us on Thursday, April 24th in the cafeteria for our 1st grade program.  Come see your children show their love for music through song and movement. 
            If your child is performing, please bring them to the gym at 6:30p.m.  The program will actually start AFTER the PTA meeting that will begin at 6:30.  They will look for their teacher’s name and sit in a line until the program begins.  It is very helpful if parents, family and friends wait in the cafeteria for the performance to begin. The teachers will be in the gym to supervise the students.
            This year’s program is called, “Oceans of Fun.”   We will be featuring different creatures from the deep blue sea.  We are going to create an ocean of our very own.  We would like you to dress your child in one of the following:  all blue, for the water, all green, for sea weed, or all coral/pink for coral. 

                        We will also feature different sea creatures,  Check the list below to see if you are able to dress your child as one of our many see creatures,  Then, let Mrs. Biscamp by Friday, April 18th.   By choosing one of the sea creatures, you are agreeing to make/provide the costume for your child.  Please keep in mind that they will be standing on risers and will have movements that use their arms.  Also, be mindful of the height at which you make any headpieces because it can block the students that may be standing behind them or beside them.

Welcome Olaf!!

This week we started the life cycle of a frog. We received our class tadpole and have been observing him every day. As a class we decided Olaf would be his/her name. (We won't know if it's a girl or boy until it's a frog)
