Dec. 15, 2016: Thursday

It was a wonderful day full of Christmas cheer, laughter, love, and enjoyment. We started the day with taking care of some house cleaning, followed by rehearsal for tomorrow's show. After watching the rehearsal, I know you won't be disappointed with the quality of performances you'll see tomorrow. I hope you can all make it out. Program starts at 9:00am sharp, so please arrive accordingly.

In the afternoon, the students listened to the story How the Grinch Stole Christmas, read my me.

To end the day, the students participated in a gift exchange game in which they all enjoyed. Some got to open a few presents, some opened only one, some got their present stolen, but in the end, everyone ended up with a fantastic gift and a smile. Thank you parents for helping with the gift exchange. It was a great success!

Students have brought home their plant they planted at the field trip a couple of weeks ago. They need to be watered immediately, and then transplanted into a bigger flower pot in the next few days.

IMPORTANT:
- For tomorrow, please arrive before 8:30am as usual, and bring your nice, loud singing voice.
- please wear your nice formal uniform pants, and you will change into your shirt when you get here.
- students will be released after the performance if a parent is here, otherwise dismissal is at 11:45am

Secret message of the day - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Have a splendid evening, and see you tomorrow!!
