I'm very pleased to present our first Thanksgiving play complete with Mohican words. I've studied these words and although I probably don't have the grammar quite right, the children will be using the words in the play, and I'm just so excited. I sent home preliminary play lines today, and more have been added. Most younger children have about three lines. The older children have more. As your younger child proves himself capable of delivering a line with sound and with interest, he will be given more lines.
Every child will be outfitted with a costume. This is usually one of the most nervewracking events in our school year, but this year it's been pure fun. Can't wait to see the wompshauk and the squonneeks and the duksors and the mkhook-que-thoths that we will make and have on stage.
It's about learning what it's like to perform, to create a fiction that takes the viewer away from reality for a while. It's true recreation. Please plan to take that hour off for your child.
More later about what we need - feathers, felt, and if you can find a cheap pair of children's moccasins at the Dollar Store - go for it.
Plays should be fun.
Today was an exceptional day. The kids were OUTSTANDING a big tribute to parents for a nice weekend. I'm trying something new in the kitchen tomorrow. Ask your child if he thinks it's neat.
Please keep an eye on your child's pumpkin plant. An outdoor plant can be kept alive under a 12-14 inch lamp that is kept on 24-7. I have a garden of bloomers all year long.
Miss Jana is going to do a whole month on homemade clays. Please take a recipe for these things and stash them in your phone book - good place to keep things that ordinarily get lost. It's a great bit of fun on an otherwise dull afternoon.
Please congratulate Miss Molly on a job well done. Can't tell you what it is right now, but she's done an exceptional job.
