Our students had gym first thing this morning, followed by their calendar meeting and snack. We read the story that goes with the sounds that 'c' and 'k' make, traced the letters in the book, sang the song, learnt the action (clicking castanets in the air), and practiced sounding out some words with all of the sounds that we have learnt so far. We could even spell "snack"!
That was about the extent of their 'regular' routine that we had today! We spent the morning practicing for the Christmas concert with the other elementary grades.
While some older students practiced in Period 4, the younger grades watched some classic Mickey Mouse Christmas stories, featuring Donald Duck, Mickey, Chip and Dale, and Goofy. From the amount of laughter in the room, they thought that these oldies were goodies!
We performed our dress rehearsal during the last period of the day for the middle years and high school students. Then, we had time for a talking circle at the end of the day. Students shared their thoughts on the day, as well as some of their favourite things to do during the Christmas season.
Tomorrow is our official Christmas Concert performance. I'm looking forward to watching the K's do an amazing job up on stage!
