Reading--8th grade

This week we will work on building castles.  Castle Day is Tuesday, May 10.  This is the culminating event for our study of Romeo and Juliet.  The 7th graders will add to our Castle Day by providing booths with games.  You are welcome to attend.  It will begin at 9:00 AM.  Students will need to dress up in appropriate costumes (princesses, queens, princes, kings.)  Girls can wear long dresses (check at Goodwill).  Their shoulders must be covered, so they may need to wear sweaters or shrugs.  Boys can wear long sleeve button down white shirts with baseball pants and socks.  Tablecloths work well as capes.  Also, I will be sending home a note about providing snacks for this event.  The entire school, including preschool, will attend, so we will need lots of refreshments.  I am asking each 8th grader to bring in 2 ten packs of capri suns and one bag of circus cookies.  If you cannot find circus cookies, other cookies are fine.  Thank you for supporting this event.

I apologize for not having the blog up and running last week.  I had minor surgery.  I am recovering well, but am still trying to get everything caught up.  Official progress reports will be sent home this Friday, April 22.   Thank you for your prayers and understanding. 

Spring program:  The spring program is this Wednesday, April 20 at 6:30PM in the auditorium.  The students will need to arrive at the classroom by 6:15PM.  Please have them wear bright and colorful clothes.  We are performing Supercal from Mary Poppins.  It should look bright, colorful, fun, and zany.  They can also include polka dots, stripes, suspenders, etc.

April 12

I apologize for not having the blog up and running for this week.  I had minor surgery last Wednesday.  I am recovering well, but am still trying to get everything caught up.  I returned to work this week, but unfortunately my grades are not yet caught up.  I hope to get everything graded and entered this weekend, and also have the blog ready to go for next week.  Thank you for your prayers and understanding.

Spring program:  The spring program is next Wednesday, April 20 at 6:30PM in the auditorium.  The students will need to arrive at the classroom by 6:15PM.  Please have them wear bright and colorful clothes.  We are performing Supercal from Mary Poppins.  It should look bright, colorful, fun, and zany.  They can also include polka dots, stripes, suspenders, etc.

Lunch this Friday:  This is a 6th grade lunch.  We are in need of parent volunteers to help.  Please let me or Veronica Jasso know if you are able to help.

Thank you,
Mrs. Lorenzi
