Today we worked on adding mixed numbers. Students were assigned questions 1-7 all on page 202. If they did not finish, they were to be done for homework.
Also, all lines for the play need to be memorized as soon as possible.
We will have only one evening performance of the play, which will be on Wednesday, April 22nd at 7:00pm. Cost is $5 at the door for adults.
Have a great evening,
-Ms. Gallays

The play
Here is the play for any students who may have forgotten their script at school. All lines and songs must be memorized by Monday, April 13th. I will also include the words to the songs and the recorded versions of those songs for students that may want to practice singing over the break. Not all songs were recorded. The flute recordings are also attached for those students that may want to practice their flute songs.
Play: Big P'Looter and the Council of Beings

Upcoming events and dates
Hello everyone,
This afternoon our class will be working with the Mendel Art Gallery to create masks for our play. They did not give me a list of things to prepare or to tell the students, so I'm not sure what to expect. It did occur to me this morning that we may do face casting, and that the children should wear older clothing and possibly bring something to tie back long hair and bangs. I will bring some hair elastics and headbands that the children can borrow if they need them.
I made a slight mistake on the date of performance night and so I want to give you that information and to let you know this is now correct and will not change again.
Monday, April 20th, dress rehearsal at St. Anne
Rehearsals and Performances at E.D. Feehan:
Tuesday, April 21st, dress rehearsal 1:00
Wednesday, April 22nd, performance at 1:15 for St. Anne School and other guests
Wednesday, April 22nd, performance at 7pm for St. Anne School parents and the wider Saskatoon community
Thursday, April 23rd, possible performance at 7pm for St. Anne School parents and the wider Saskatoon community.
The other evening I created a facebook invite to the play that could be shared by the artists, and organizations supporting our work as they are very keen on spreading the word about our play. After a day, the invite had been shared several times and nearly 500 people had been invited. This surprised me. It also got me thinking about the logistics of seating everyone. I know that 500 invited guests may mean only 20 actually attend, but we would regret not having enough seats for our parents and guests of our own students. So I need to put this idea our to you, the parents, the ones that will be attending and driving your kids to E.D. Feehan: if we have a tremendous interest in our play, we can perform the play on both Wednesday and Thursday evenings. It would take commitment from our students to attend both evenings and commitment from parents and family members to bring them both evenings. As well, instead of selling tickets at the door, we would have to sell them in advance, or have families reserve them in advance. Before I make any decisions, I would like some feedback from our families. I will try to make this really easy, if you have a suggestion, please email, call, or stop by. Make your preference known by answering the pole I've created. The pole is at the top of the blog on the right side in the margin beside this post. Here is the facebook invite, for your information:
Big P'Looter and the Council Of Beings.
This is an all ages show. The songs and dances are really coming along. We haven't put the entire play together yet, but I can tell you that seeing the pieces... WOW! You are going to be blown away. Please feel free to invite grandma and grandpa, aunties, uncles, cousins. In the next week we will make a decision about performance dates and send you a formal invite with details on tickets and reservations. The cost will be $5 per adult.
Have a great day!

Important Dates
Hello everyone,
Thank you to everyone who attended a three-way-conference today or yesterday. It was nice to have a chance to meet with everyone.
We have been making some good progress on our ArtsSmarts project. Many of the parts for the play were given to students on Friday. It is now time for the actors to start memorizing their lines and running through them at home. The singers and musicians will need to memorize and practice the songs. Mike Merlin will now begin the work of creating dances with the dancers. Our goal is to have the dances created by the end of next week and then start to run through the performance in its entirety. In the coming weeks I will continue to blog about the process and to share a secure video post of the music. I will send the links out through an email. The final production will be at E.D. Feehan High School. The dates and times are below. Please let me know ASAP if your child cannot attend any of these performance times.
Tuesday, April 21 - dress rehearsal 12:45-2:45
Wednesday, April 22 - Performance #1: 1:15pm - 2:30
This performance is for St. Anne students and parents who cannot attend in the evening.
Wednesday, April 22 - Performance #2: 7:00pm - 8:00pm
This performance is for our St. Anne Community. Extended family are welcome to join us. Admission will be $5.00 and there will be a raffle. More information to follow.
This project is funded through an ArtsSmarts grant from the Saskatchewan Arts Board. A project like this would not be possible without this support.
