Willy Wonka - Coming Soon!

A note is coming home today or tomorrow about the Fall Musical for 5th - 8th grade. The musical is Sunday, November 14th. I am looking for parent volunteers to help with costumes and sets and someone to help with the silent auction that day. Click on the link below to read the note...just in case the paper copy didn't make it home.


Fall Musical Letter

6th grade science test on Wednesday

We will move the Chapter A2 Test to Wednesday. Students need to finish the written review for homework tonight (Monday). We will go over the review and play a review game on Tuesday.

Busy, busy, busy!

Sorry - have not had time to update this for a few days.

Algebra students - I will put the keys to the practice worksheets on the Algebra page so you can check them over the weekend.

We will have several tests next week:

8th Grade Science Chapter 3 Test will be on Tuesday
6th Grade Science Chapter A2 Test will be on Tuesday
Algebra Chapter 3 Test will be on Wednesday

7th and 8th Grade music auditions for Willy Wonka will be next week. I am not sure how many days of class the auditions will take - once we see how that goes, I can tell you when I will have the cast list posted. Don't forget the link to audition central is posted under "useful links" if you want to practice lines or songs for a part

Wonka-mania!

I announced this past week to the 5th -8th graders that the fall musical will be "Willy Wonka" - and they seem very excited. Parents - I will need lots of help to create the chocolate factory for the play. Thanks to Mrs. Winkelman for already starting a plan for the oompa loompa costumes!The 5th and 6th grade boys will be featured as the famous Oompa Loompas - and the 5th and 6th grade girls will be both kids in the candy shop and the "squirrels" :)
The 7th and 8th graders will audition for the main parts and also sign up for behind the scenes jobs like student director, student choreographer, stage manager, props master, etc...
Below is the link to "audition central" so you can look up each character and study the audition lines and songs for them. I will put it in the "links" area of the blog as well. Good luck!
