The kids were amazing before we went off track! They have really matured in the way they deal with each other lately and I'm so pleased that they have been showing so much respect. I hope we can continue this when they return. I think they have learned that privileges come when you are responsible and put forth extra effort.
We have had a problem with gum as of late and so I am petitioning for your help. Please do not let them bring gum to school. Many of their bank accounts have dwindled because they refuse to respect this rule. We have had gum engrained into our new carpet 2 times in my classroom and we've only been in my classroom for 8 weeks. Again, please don't allow them to bring gum to school.
I've been worried that the kids won't remember their lines for Shakespeare. If you could help them with their lines I think it will really help them to be prepared for when we perform. Beyond memorization, they really can work on expression and volume. If you need another script I will attach it to your email. We need everyone to really project loudly. Any coaching on this would be greatly appreciated. Also, rehearsals start on May 12th, so be thinking about costumes.
Let me know of any questions at all through johnemett@gmail.com
Sincerely,
Mr. Emett
