KILA PRACTICE SCHEDULE:

We'll need to do assembly practices in the gym on the day of the assembly and Friday classes will meet in their normal locations. I'm hoping to have as much room as possible on the stage, as along with the set-up risers, I'd like as much of the K-5 as possible sitting in lines to the sides of the risers on the stage itself, while 6th-8th have chairs(?) near the front(?), and of course chairs scattered around the stage for teachers and set up for the audience. Here's what I propose for practices:

9:22-10:12 4th (normal time), 5th (from PE), & 6th (from Language) practice, will try to do 6th involvement as much as possible first (and later in regular music class time) so they can be taken back to Language

10:30-11:15 1st (normal time, extended), Kindergarten (move to this earlier time for just that day), and the following 7th/8th Graders from Math/Social Studies who accompany the K & 1st: Weston, Liam, Tristan, Jacob, Aspenn, Jaden, Justin, Taylor, Kaleb, Maddie, Katie, and Cassaundra; will try to do 7th & 8th involvement as much as possible first so they can be taken back to classes

12:30-1:20 2nd, 3rd, & the following 7th/8th Graders (from Language/PE) who accompany the 2nd & 3rd: Ciera, Jordan, Riley, Naesha, Elona, Kiegan, Drew, Connor, Aden, Soren, Hailee, and RaeAnne; will try to do 7th & 8th involvement as much as possible first so they can be taken back to classes.

BRAINSTORMING AHEAD:

I'm wondering if any of the classes would like to do any sort of presentation…perhaps a poem they have written on Veterans Day, an essay about why we are thankful for our veterans, a history project that a class might be doing over Veterans Day, etc. Please talk to your students about if they would like to write a short essay or poem for the Veteran’s day assembly. Essays or poems will need to be pre-approved and edited by the classroom teacher (Language teacher in middle school). I am looking for a Veteran(s) if you know a Veteran that would be willing to come and talk at the school. Would anyone like to tie in another subject area (English, Social Studies, etc.) with the Veteran's Day assembly, something for the students or maybe family members of the students who might be Veteran's themselves? Please involve anyone in the community who might like to be involved.
