Theatre Practice Day

Christopher takes center stage!

Yesterday was our last Saturday lesson of the year.  We spent almost the whole day practicing for the Spring play.  Even the preschoolers and kindergarteners had to come in to practice with the big kids.  They got to go home early, though. 

We learned where we should come on stage, and where we are going to be in between the times when we are on stage.  Mommy calls it the Second Grade Dressing Room.  We want to bring the classroom rug and stools and some beanbag chairs down for the day of the play so the kids have comfortable places to sit.  Yesterday we all sat pretty much on the floor.  We played Spelling List Hot Potato. 

Besides the play, interesting things that have happened this week include the fact that lunch has been moved an hour later.  We finally had daylight savings time here in Egypt and that means that the prayers are now at different times, since they go by the sun and not by the clocks.  This means the lunch prayer is an hour later.  So now lunch is too.  Luckily, Mommy’s students have always tried to eat their entire lunch at snack-time anyway.  They are not especially hungry at the old lunch time.  Mommy and the other teachers are pretty much starving, though.  They get up earlier and make breakfast.

I’ve got to go eat my toast before the Suzuki comes to pick us up.  Until next time,

Chris
