Today's schedule was all messed around. We were supposed to have program practice at 2pm, but that cut PE down to 15min, so Mr. E wanted to skip. I tried to come up with ways to make it longer, but then we realized his class didn't have their placemats decorated for the nursing home, and they're due tomorrow. So when would he do that? Answer: the Christmas program is going to be short, so we can probably run through it all in one day. We skipped practice today. Now I really hope we will read it all in one sitting! We have a half an hour. It's quite short, especially without the bells and congregation hymns, so we should be able to make it.
After school, I asked a 5th grader to be Mary for one service. The 3-4th graders do costume parts, but Mary will only be at one service, hence the understudy. There is just one girl in 3-4th, and there are a ton of 1-2nd grade girls, but those first and second girls are very terratorial, and it's going to bad drama if one of them gets picked over the others. When I asked my student, she said yes right away, I was surprised. A sixth grader lingered nearby, and she volunteered right away too. That is, until she realized her brother was playing Joseph! My 5th grader will do it though.
In other news, our tricky bell song is much improved after another day of practice! They like the song (Patapan), so they're willing to put in the work. It's fun to direct when they have that attitude. More bell practice tomorrow!
