This year we have 3 fifth-grade classrooms instead of 2. Two of them share a space, while the 3rd is located between the two 4th grade classrooms. Among 5th graders, anticipation about their end-of-year choreography (that’s June of 2011!) is so high that they arrived to dance class on the first day last week, worried that they wouldn’t all be able to dance together at the end of the year. So we have our work cut out for this year… planning how to work 80 kids into something that feels like one dance. It’s good to have 9 months to figure it out!

What a treat to have so much enthusiasm, though. You’ve built, and earned, that.
