Today we traveled to the Barre Opera House to watch the French Canadian band, De Temps Antan. They were phenomenal! It was a very energetic show. Please ask your child about the bands' crazy ability to play percussion with their FEET! It was quite impressive. While some students thought it was a bit "different" to be listening to a group of musicians singing in another language, it tied directly to our Geography curriculum and exposed them to another culture, that is so close (location wise) to our own. Students were able to dance and clap along and truly enjoyed the great show! (In attempt to keep things as normal as possible today, we did squeeze in all four of our classes into the time we had remaining in the day. Students did not miss any classes, they just had shorter classes.) Please remember that our class travels to Essex on Monday. We will be leaving school at 8am sharp and will arrive back at school at 2pm, just in time to catch the 2:30 bus. Students must wear sneakers, dress in layers, and bring a bagged lunch. Students will NOT be allowed to participate without sneakers. Students are also not permitted to have any electronic devices on the trip. We will go on this trip rain or shine, so please send appropriate gear (rain jackets, extra change of clothes, etc). If you have any questions please let me know! Just a quick note about homework- Over half of the students in my TA didn't complete their weekly assignment, today. This was quite a shock to me. We write our assignments into the assignment book every time we have one, and I give verbal reminders almost everyday. Please remind your students that missing homework assignments do effect the final grade of the quarter! Have a great weekend.
