I am sure you have heard many of our wonderful songs already, but for the real thing we will be performing on May 23rd at 9:00 sharp! Everyone is very excited to show their hard work!  

There are multiple youtube videos of others performing the same play if your child wants to practice songs at home! As for costumes everyone needs to dress like a pirate. I was thinking a simple one would be a white button down shirt or striped t-shirt, black pants, and some pirate gear. To make it fancier you could get a vest, maybe a sash around the waist, a hat. Any and all accessories would be appreciated!! If you have extras we would love to borrow some. Some students have other parts and costumes and I have talked to them about it already.  We will need costumes checked off before the 23rd. Let me know if you have any questions! 
 

This week we are going to keep working on last weeks sorts and homework because the it was not available for the whole week. Feel free to complete the homework for last week and turn it in on Friday. If you have finished the homework already, you don’t have any sort homework this week. 🙂 Please continue to read each night and if you would like some math practice, here is a little review Math Review

Quest has decided to do a Dollar Dress Down Day this Friday, March 3rd to help Mrs. Ingersoll and her micro twins.  You are able to donate at least a dollar to dress down, but you are more than welcome to donate more money to help with the hospital costs.  Thanks!
