ACE and EIC 3rd graders attended the SD Symphony on Monday. They got to hear beautiful songs that imitated animal sounds. The Great Plains Zoo even brought some animals to show the kids that went along with the music! It is a great experience for third graders because they get to decide if they would want to join the orchestra next year! Great time!
3rd graders went to Dow Rummel Assisted Living last Friday and sang their musical songs to the residents. They hung up rabbits on the resident's doors and stopped to say hello! What a great experience for all!
During Family, students got to read to a buddy!
Finding Nemo, Jr. musical was a huge success! The kids worked hard for months learning their parts, practicing their songs, and molding their personality into their character! It is so incredible to see their talents shine! Thanks, kids, for all of your hard work and dedication!! To our volunteers and staff, WOW! Every year you knock it out of the park and "just keep swimming" through any hiccups along the way! From the sets, to makeup, to costumes, to playbill, to sound/lights, to producing, to directing, to supervising, to any part to played to help, THANK YOU!!!!! These memories for these kids will last a lifetime! Thank you for your time and expertise in your area! It was another amazing show!!! Thanks to Sioux Falls First Church for hosting us! We concluded the musical with a cast party on Friday to celebrate the hard work of all! Until next year!!!!

Help get books the students want!!
As we get to the end of the year, we are trying to get the books the students want in their hands before the year ends. Unfortunately, we have some books that are very popular. In fact, they are so popular that the wait list is very long.
How long is the wait list?
That of course depends on the book. Currently, there are only 12 more times for library before all books must be turned in. One of our books has 17 students requesting it. Even if the students return the book every library time, we will not be able to get the book in their hands! This doesn't even include those students who need more than the 4 school days to read it or the issue of returning on a B day and the next one on the list is an A day student. (meaning it will be 4 school days before that A day student comes to the library to check out the book and return their previous ones.)
If you would be willing to help out, we would love extra copies of these popular books so everyone who wants a chance, can read the book.
What books are they??
The best place to check out what books the library needs is at:
https://mrsreavis.wixsite.com/jane-addams-library/how-to-help
Currently, our waitlisted books includes the ones in red on that page:
Monster Friends by Kaeti Vandorn (Need at least 2 copies)
Starla Jean: Which Came First: the Chicken or the Friendship? by Elana K. Arnold
Tag Team by Elaine Bay
If you could see it in your heart to give a copy, or even a few dollars so I can buy extra copies of the books, I'd appreciate it. Any help is much needed .
Thank you for considering,
Mrs. Reavis & Ms. Kristi
Last week the ACE and EIC 3rd graders had a special guest come and share his knowledge about the upcoming symphony they will be attending! They got a sneak peek into the songs and background of each they will hear at the SD Symphony soon! Thanks for
stopping by!
Spring is in the air! We are loving the beautiful weather and colorful bulletin boards! Many of these are designed and made (with teacher input) by our volunteers and always turn out so cute and interactive! Thanks for all of your help parents and volunteers! We also love the awesome student art!
Students keep working hard and practicing for the musical!! Our musical is on March 21! Tickets go on sale to the general public on Wednesday! Check back for the link if you would like to attend Finding Nemo tomorrow!
Congrats to our High Flyers this week! We are proud you were responsible, respectful, and safe!
