Upcoming December Events

Hello, Giraffe Families! We have a busy few weeks ahead of us, so here is a list of important upcoming events both in our classroom and at SMS:

December 13th- Early Release Students will be dismissed from school at 12:50 pm.

December 14th- Dress Rehearsal for the Holiday Concert at 2 pm 

December 18th- SMS Holiday Mission gifts due back to the Giraffe and Owl classrooms, Holiday Concert at 6 pm in the Cafe

December 20th- Gingerbread Cookie Decorating Party in the Giraffe Class at 2:15

We will be cutting and baking the gingerbread cookies in the morning (we will be using the pre-made Pillsbury gingerbread cookie dough) so they are cooled and ready for us to decorate in the afternoon. We will also have frosting and sprinkles to decorate with in class, but if you would like to send in your child with their own small sandwich-sized bag of candies to decorate with, you are more than welcome to! ALL friends and family are welcome to join us for the party--we will have extra cookies to decorate for visitors! 

December 22nd - January 1st- Vacation-- We will see you in 2019! 

You're Invited!

You Are Invited to Attend Our Production of:

How To Be A Pirate in Seven Easy Songs

Where: SMS Cafe

When: Thursday, June 2nd

Time: 6:30 pm

We have been rehearsing lots and lots over the last few weeks both on the stage and in the classroom, and we cannot wait to perform for our friends and family. Our Dress Rehearsal will be Wednesday, June 1st. Just as a reminder, for the dress rehearsal and our night time performance on June 2nd, boys will wear black shirts with  blue jeans and girls will wear white shirts with blue jeans. Jeans can either be pants, shorts, or skirts! 

Heave Ho, Here we go!

Ahoy, Families!

The time has finally come to perform our Pirate Play! We will be having our dress rehearsal on Monday during the school day for SMS students and our big performance Tuesday night at 6:30 pm for friends and family. Anyone who would like to come is more than welcome!  

Students should bring or wear their costumes to school on Monday for our dress rehearsal. Just as a reminder, the boys are wearing black shirts and the girls are wearing white shirts and everyone is to wear blue jean pants or shorts. If the shirts have any designs or writing on them, that is totally fine! We have our bandanas and eye patches here, so we will put them on when it is time to perform and students can take them home once the play is over :)

Students should come to our classroom before the play on Tuesday at 6:15 pm to get ready and line up in concert order. The play is about 35-40 minutes long. We are going to be the last group to perform our lines and our class song and the whole second grade will perform two more songs before the play is over. We will have students exit the cafe and return to our classroom to be picked up so we can make sure everyone is accounted for. If you are facing the stage, we will be seated on the right side of the stage for most of the performance, so if you are looking for a good seat, the right/center would be the place to go! 

Please let us know if you have any questions. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, it is hard to believe we only have two more weeks left!

Ahoy There!

Arrrrrg! We have had so much fun preparing for our upcoming play How to Be a Pirate in Seven Easy Songs. While we've been able to get together with the other second grade classrooms on the stage for some full rehearsals, we've also been working hard to prepare within our classroom. Mrs. Chartier told us that we've been doing an awesome job practicing, she was so impressed by our song and our actors and actresses! 

This week, Mrs. Pitcher helped us make some awesome pirates using our hands to put on our shared bulletin board. They look great climbing up  to the crow's nest on our ship and searching for treasure on our island! 

Our bandanas for the play also came in this week, so we got to try them on for our rehearsal on Friday! Ms. Riley also ordered some more accessories for us to adorn, but those will be a surprise :) 

Our play will take place on Tuesday, June 9th at 6:30 pm for our friends and family. We will have a dress rehearsal the day before on June 8th, so if everyone could bring their costumes to school that day, it would be very much appreciated! Just as a reminder, our costumes will consist of jeans with a black t-shirt for boys and a white t-shirt for girls.
