Midterms and More

Midterms
Second quarter midterms are coming home today in sealed envelopes. I try hard to emphasize that grades are for the student, his/her parents, and the teacher. That's why the sealed envelopes. Please sign the form and return it tomorrow.

Christmas CD
Merry Christmas! I asked on Tuesday who drove their parents crazy with the Christmas CD and was greeted with a chorus of "I did!" Hopefully they were exaggerating. Again, I tried to get a variety - old/new, loud/soft, fast/slow, normal/not-so-normal. Anyway, I hope it brings more joy and smiles than annoyance this Christmas season.

Christmas Program
Tomorrow is the Christmas program we have been practicing. Listening today makes me think the practice has paid off. Performances are at 1:00 and 6:00 tomorrow. Students were asked to wear Sunday morning clothes, and Christmas colors would be an added bonus. I did tell them that if they wanted to save the special Christmas outfit for the evening performance it would be fine.
