2012 Winter Concert

Winter Concert Photos!

 

We had a wonderful time performing for family and friends during our Winter Concert! I was so very proud of all our students, many overcoming stage fright and "antsy tendencies" to perform... they did a fantastic job!  All the days of practice, getting every move down-pat, learning how to sing loud and clear but not shout...all our efforts culminated in a lovely concert!  

Today we would like to dedicate last Thursday evening's concert to the teachers and students of Sandy Hook Elementary, especially to the parents whose children will not perform in

another concert this side of heaven...May God bless them and be an ever present

help in the day of trouble (Psalm 27)

May we always be thankful for those we love and appreciate every day we have together!

Parents! Under my Classroom Websites you will find a new website by Scholastic Book Clubs called Book Wizard...if you log on to the site you will find lots of helpful information but also a search engine that will help you to find out what reading level a favorite book you have at home is! Reading levels help you find what book might be appropriate for your child to read.  In 4K some our children may be at the beginning reading level of an A or B, some even further. So please feel free to utilize this website tool and enjoy seeing your child progress in their reading!
