Our little class has been selected to be “barnyard animals” for the Christmas program on Thursday, December 21st (1-2 pm). I will be dividing the children into three groups: sheep, pigs, and cows. The sheep will need to wear either a solid black or solid white t-shirt with black (or dark) bottoms. The pigs will need to wear pink tops and bottoms. The cows will be asked to bring in a solid white (or black) t-shirt ahead of time. We will “cow-i-fy” it and return it to you. For the performance the cows will wear this t-shirt and black (or dark bottoms). Each child will be provided with a sheep/pig/cow headband on the day of the concert.
If you have a preference for which animal you would like your child to be please email me this weekend at dmorris@highroadacademy.com. Otherwise, I will be letting you know on Monday so that you can begin rounding up what you need for their costume.
Our poem for the concert is:
Once upon a noisy night
The animals all gathered ’round
To worship Christ with all their might!
It was quite the sound!
Mary shook her head and cried,
“This is such a zoo!
With all the animals inside
What’s a mom to do?”
But no one could be silent
At such a wondrous sight!
Baby Jesus, fast asleep
On such a NOISY NIGHT!
We will be practicing it at school in the next two weeks and would love it if you could also review it at home. To make things easier I will be suspending bible memory verses until the new year. Thanks so much for all you do!
