Monday's Tattler

Good Monday!

With our travels over until the Nutcracker in December, it's time to really focus on the play. Play lines have been sent home and it's time for the children to learn to say these lines in the order in which they must be delivered. Memorizing just the line is not going to help. Parents should review the whole scene with their children so that the children know when they are supposed to come in.

It's a process, like anything else.

The play will be at 2:00 (and not 3:00 p.m.) this year on November 18. We have changed the time for the sake of the children. 3:00 p.m. is just too late on a Friday to expect them to do a good job. Fridays are tough enough, but there has always been a "holding tank" between 1:00 and 2:00 when the kids just ran and exhausted themselves and then had to put on their costumes and half of them just wanted to go to sleep. So this year the play is at 2:00 p.m.

Costumes will be provided for every child. Parents are welcome to help with refreshments.

This is going to be one of those warm, then cold, bright, then breezy, dry then wet weeks. long sleeves and jeans work well. Please remember that as the weather gets colder, short sleeves in a heavy coat just doesn't cut the chill. Children need long sleeves to play outside.

Have a brilliant week!
