IP 10 Music Video Due Date Change
Hi IP 10! Just a reminder that we decided in class (in both 10T and 10IC) to extend the due date for the music videos by one class period and push the "movie night" class into the new year. This allows our 3 missing students (who are on vacations to Mexico and South Africa - wow!) to take part in the movie night when they return. It will also give you one period of respite during your busy time studying for midterms and finals!
The new due dates are:
IP 10IC - Thursday Dec. 20th - P5
IP 10T - Friday Dec. 21st - P3
Please note that this includes your band poster as well! Each group member is responsible for creating their own band poster. There will be one submission per group for music video, as you have been doing this as a group project all along. I can't wait to see what you come up with! I will be burning the DVD of both class' submissions over the break so it will be ready to go for early January.
Have fun!

For Mrs. C
Pardon the bit of questionable language for a teacher's blog, but...... AMEN! We've got the coolest lady around in our library! Go tell her that she's awesome today!
Updates for one and all!
Time to update the blog for all classes and ensembles. Here we go!
************************************
Computers
7C - We are just finishing our Keyboard Shortcuts unit. For the last couple weeks of class we will be working on typing skills and speed/accuracy tests.
9O - We have been having issues with the drop box so next class I would like to collect your news broadcasts on my USB so that we can have a "movie night" to see what you've come up with for your major project. Please have your exported file ready for me for next class.
IP 10T / IP 10IC - Your music videos are due on Tuesday, December 18th (that's next Tuesday). That means that, after today, you have 3 classes left to finish editing and exporting your final project. I need them handed in NO LATER than Tuesday, December 18th at 3:15pm. I will be burning a DVD using our iDVD software that we will then watch in the last period before the break. "Movie night" dates: IP 10IC - Thurs. Dec. 20th - P5 / IP 10T - Fri. Dec. 21st - P3.
Drama 10
We have been rolling with our story-telling unit for quite a while now. With our occasional breaks for "improv Fridays," we are continuing to work on characterization, vocal projection, pacing, inflection/emotion, and other aspects of our story-telling performance. Memory work is not mandatory - I think that, after hearing your "draft" performances, some of you have stories that would take more time than we have to memorize. Therefore you can use your script if necessary, but only as an occasional aid rather than a crutch that you recite from directly. I am continuing to conference with students one-on-one to go over their adjudication sheets from the initial performance.
Band
Level 1 - Concert rep: Jingle Bells (Jasleen MC), Lightly Row (MC spot available; soloists at concert), Soft Kitty (complete with "Big Bang Theory" comedy schtick)
Level 2 - Concert rep: Jolly Old St. Nick (from Essential Elements book), Up on the Housetop (from A Best in Class Christmas). MC spots still available
Level 3 - Concert rep: Jingle Bell Rock, Silver Bells (with Level 4 Band). MC spots still available. Stay tuned (no pun intended!) for more information on a potential rehearsal with Level 4 prior to the concert.
Level 4 - Concert rep: Silver Bells (with Level 3 Band), White Christmas (without a conductor!). MC spots available for both tunes. I am hoping to get a rehearsal in with Level 3 for Silver Bells before the concert.
Choir / Jazz Choir
Jazz Choir - Concert rep: Lullaby of Birdland, Fly Me to the Moon (don't forget the tag at the end!), The Twelve Days After Christmas, Feliz Navidad. MC spots available.
Senior Choir - Concert rep: Breath of Heaven, Rise Up Singing, Peace Child, The Christmas Song. MC spots available. Upcoming carolling dates: Tues. Dec. 11th - Sisters of the Presentation infirmary, Fri. Dec. 21st - Pineview.

************************************
We are also planning a "Snow Ball" (semi-formal) winter dance for this Friday, Dec. 14th. So far we have not sold enough tickets to have it go forward, but we will make the decision tomorrow as to whether it will be canceled or not. If you are planning on buying your ticket, please do it asap so we don't cancel the dance unnecessarily!
Have a great week - only 15 days until Christmas! :)

Are we..... RELATED?!
My sister sent me this picture of Avery yesterday.... that's her "bebe" with sunglasses on as well (her "bebe" looks like a little white ghost and she LOVES it and carries it everywhere). This picture reminded me of an old photo of myself when I was around her age. See the resemblance perhaps? :o)
