Monday's Tattler

Good morning! Today begins the first day of play weeks. We will be focusing on learning lines, making decorations, wearing costumes and making backdrops. It's a fun time, and children should learn to step out of self a little and become somebody else for a little while. It's a great way to introduce an illusive fine art to little ones.

Learning lines is a parent and me activity. The younger children will have fewer lines - probably two or three. The older children will be responsible for learning many more. It is important that parents help their child with the entire scene. By learning their own lines only, they will not know when it is their turn to speak. So when you practice, you need to read the other children's lines and then instruct your child when to say his.

Your child will receive a costume courtesy of Mrs. St. Louis.

The play will be Friday, November 20 promptly at 3:00.

This week on Friday, we will be going to the Lollipop Concert in the morning. We will leave for the concert at 9:30. Your child will need to wear BOTH his green shirt and his red school hoodie. Please do not send children in shoes other than athletic shoes. There are many steps at the concert, and we don't want anyone to fall. The cost for the field trip is $10.00.

Have a great week!
