Update from Ms. R

The homework for this week is to practise singing the two songs the students will be performing at the Holiday Concert. The lyrics (words) for the two songs were sent home with the children on Friday.
Important Dates:
Dec. 17 - Holiday Concert and bake sale -6:00 to 6:45 the JK/SK students will perform, followed by an intermission from 6:45 to 7:00. From 7:00 to 8:00 grades 1 to 8 students will perform.
Dec. 18 - Last day of school for 2009
Dec. 19 to Jan. 3 - Winter Holidays
Jan. 4 - First day of school for 2010
Note:
I am currenty working with Dr. Dale Willows (from O.I.S.E/University of Toronto) to create a "virtual classroom" for a teacher resource website she is developing.
On Thursday evening, the classroom was transformed into a movie studio to allow for filming not only our classroom but also short videos of me explaining the student projects and giving teaching tips. After almost 6 hours of filming, we created a virtual tour of the classroom and over 20 short films!
(Here the videographer is setting up the lights.)

Hi, Mrs. R
do you want the students to come earlier for the concert and where do you want them to meet?

Hello,

If you are not attending the JK/SK concert, 15 minutes ahead of time is fine(that is, around 6:45). Students are to meet in Room 5.

Thanks,

Ms. R
