Hello strangers!

Hello,

I'm back.  It's been too long.

Big day tomorrow.  Students have read multiple biographies, completed a poster, timeline, paragraph, venn diagram, dress-up sheet and interview based on their famous person in history. It is finally time for our grand tea party.  Parents are welcome to come in at any time.  We will kicking it off sometime around 12:45 in Room 120.  Kids will be able to get dressed after our lunchtime.

Their instructions for the duration of the party will be to stay in character.  Their job will be to learn about all the other famous people in the room, as well as to teach everyone in the room about themselves.  The key will be to mingle.

I will be the butler for the tea party.  (I need to be in character too.)  The kids voted on my name. They will enjoy calling me Mr. Banana.  I don't remember who made that nomination for a name, but it was popular.  I will be serving many appetizers and beverages.  I try to bring in very odd food and drink choices that not many kids will have tried before.  I can't give you a sneak peek into this year's choices because I am doing all of the shopping after I finish this blog.

Parents are not only welcome, but I am really hoping for a bit of help with some food prep and serving.  Pat, our fantastic volunteer, will be here to help, but we could use others.

Okay, I'm going to run. Thank you to everyone who came in for conferences.  I still need to nail down a time for a couple of you, but overall was pleased to get them done within two weeks of the end of the basketball season.

It's good to be back,

Thanks for reading.

Mr. Shea
