Dear
Families,
This
week we are learning about early natives to the Piedmont region of North
Carolina, studying the animal kingdom, writing about Carl Linnaeus, and looking
for examples of kindness. Some of us are learning about prepositional phrases
while others are learning about direct objects or participles. Also, some are
working with fractions, protractors, and ratios and proportions.
We
have finalized most of our plans for next Thursday night, November 1-- the
night of our 6th grade dinner theatre. The event will be held at the First Baptist Church, 113 North Harvey Street, in Washington. Please see the class blog to RSVP and a map of the location.
Our class is responsible for
the following:
3 crock pots of Chili
(with ladles)--- see recipe on the class blog
3 crock pots of
Brunswick Stew (with ladles)----see recipe on the class blog
3 crock pots of
Vegetarian Potato-Corn Chowder (with ladles)---see recipe on the class blog
5 dozen dinner rolls
5 dozen servings of
corn bread or corn sticks
1 large box of
Saltines
3 pound cakes 1 package of white lunch
bags
3 banana puddings 400 dessert plates
4 apple pies 600 napkins
1 bag of sugar (5
lbs) 1 family size box (24 or
48) of tea bags
The above needs are posted on our class blog
where you may sign up to help (or just send a note in to us via your child)!
THANK YOU!!!
The children invest an unbelievable amount of dedication, time, and
energy in this project! A special thanks to our 4th and 5th
years’ parent who volunteer although their children are not directly involved
this year. We could not do it without all of you!
Again
this year, dinner theatre tickets may be prepaid. A family ticket for the
immediate family may be purchased for $25, or $7 per person. You also
have the option of paying at the door at the same price. There will be a cast
member fee (cast members will be our servers at dinner) to cover the costs of
pizza/beverage the afternoon of the play. Shortly, we will send home more
information regarding their dress, time requirements, and permission slip to
travel to the church the day of the play. Thank you!
The
children continue to adjust to the demands of the curriculum and expectations;
they seem to be happy! Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank
you for all that you do,
Amy
and Darla
ALSO: Thank
you for the supplies (bedding) and treats for Bella, our chinchilla!
Please see the top of the blog (under the blog title) for the specific page which lists items needed for the dinner theatre. Also, recipes for the chili, stew and chowder are each on a specific page at the top of the blog as well. Thank you for contributing!
