What a terrific day! The play was amazing. It was an African folk tale about inner beauty. The sets were cool, the music and dance were awesome! The kids had wonderful behavior. They were....PERFECT! They even noticed other students who were not displaying play etiquette.
Then we headed for lunch. This was what I was a little nervous about. It went so smoothly. Several elderly couples who were in having lunch even complimented our children's behavior. Too cool!
We also stopped to burn off some steam at a park. Then...headed home. I'll have some pictures for everyone in a couple of days.
Read about the play we watched:

Hard to tell you what is for homework due tomorrow, since I was gone on Friday. I'm not 100% sure what you got through on Friday. Just check your planner and we'll figure it all out on Monday!
Just a reminder conferences are T and Th of this week. They are not scheduled, just pick up report cards in the office and decide if you need or want to talk to Mrs. Dickman or I, or both :)No school Friday!
