3-18-11 Exchange (Last Friday)

Dear Students,

I decided to give all of you an opportunity to post a response based upon our visit to our extended classmates at Fayetteville-Manlius High School.  There are several of my students who check the blog on a regular basis and I believe they'll be pleasantly surprised to see this post.  Feel free to post comments, reflections, and/ or questions  in regards to our visit last week. 

I'd also like to say THANK YOU to all of the students from Fayetteville-Manlius High School.  The snacks were lovely and you were wonderful hosts and hostesses!  The planned activities were also greatly appreciated.  And THANK YOU to my Nottingham students for being such an energetic, enthusiastic, and dedicated group!      ~ Mrs. Benedetto

React/ Reflect/ Respond:  What did you think about today's performance?  What were some of the highlights and/or thought provoking moments of the play?  Explain.  Was there anything about that play that you didn't care for or found to be confusing?  Explain. 

Nottingham Students: Field Trip Reminder!

 Please remember to meet me in the front foyer at 9:20 AM sharp tomorrow.  Keep in mind that we will not be served lunch and no one signed up for a bagged lunch upon our return to the school.  I am bringing  four bags of nacho chips, bread, and peanut butter and jelly to our fifth block class.  There should be enough for everyone if you are interested in those items.   Some students mentioned wanting to bring money for the pizza shop accross the street.  Just make sure that you bring money if you choose that option. I will pick up all of the pizza. Someone should also call ahead if there are going to be several orders.   The bus is leaving Syracuse Stage at 1:00 PM sharp.  We should arrive back at Nottingham around 1:15 PM. 

Lastly, please keep in mind that cell phones are not allowed in the theater and remember to be your best. 

P.S. I need your permission slips!
