The long awaited Dance Residency instructed by Pulse Dance Studios will begin Wednesday. The residency is cross-curricular learning that will include Art, Music, Language Arts, and addresses the individual pursuits and dance and movement strands of the Physical Education curriculum. A number of artists will be in the school to work with students around all of these disciplines. Mr. Rattan, our music teacher, has been working with students to provide accompaniment through the use of the school musical instruments and through regular music class instruction. The exciting outcome of this residency will be that the school will be divided into two performance teams that will present our Winter celebration on the evenings of Wednesday Dec 10th and Thurs Dec 11th . Both performances will begin at 6 p.m.
Parent council will be providing beverages and selling cookies and fundraising after the performance. Winter raffle tickets will be also be sold. Parents should check the list below to determine when their child is performing. The list provided gives your child's teacher's name and the performance date:
Dec. 10th: P.M Kindergarten (Hay), Young, Gaspar, Binks, Laberee Lee, Sadowsky, Anderson, and Paschalis
Dec. 11th: A.M. Kindergarten (Hay and Fisher), Nelson, Brink, Grainger, Maher, Grant, Quon, Tam and Cheng.
We ask that during the residency, students are dressed in appropriate clothing that allows for ease of movement while still providing coverage. Appropriate shoe for dancing will also support student success.
We want to thank Parent Council and the Alberta Foundations for the arts for their support of this residency. Without the financial support from these sources this residency would not be possible.
DURING THE PERFORMANCE
The level of performance by our school as a whole is expected to be of a high quality and we want to thank families that have made arrangements to attend the performance in its entirety. Our goal is to honour the work of the school and recognize the efforts of all our students here at Beddington Heights.
We will be providing a photo area for parents to use to record their child's performance. If parents wish to use their own camera's or recording devices, we ask that you use this area to avoid disruption of the performance. Please note, that parents are only to record their own child as there are many children within the school who are unable to be recorded. We ask for your help in protecting the privacy of others in our school community.
So I guess it is time to start wishing you all Happy Holidays and along with your children we look forward to your attendance on Dec, 10th or 11th.
