Week of April 12,2015
Dear
Parents,
I hope you all had a relaxing and blessed
Easter break. It is hard to believe we are in the home stretch of our school
year!
ANIMAL ALPHABET: Please continue to have
your child practice saying their lines SLOWLY AND IN A LOUD VOICE. We will be
practicing most days and they do become very comfortable and confident. You are welcome to change any words that are
troublesome for them as long as they start with their animal letter. The play
will be Friday, May 1st at 9:00 A.M. in Mrs. Tucker’s classroom. (It
is 2 doors down from our classroom) Your children will need to be here at their
regular start time and they should WEAR their costume to school. Please bring a
change of clothes so they can leave the costume in the classroom after the
play. Grandparents and siblings are welcome to attend also. We will have 50
chairs set up and you are able to stand if you wish. The play is only @ 20
minutes.
