Watch these videos

Please be ready to attend all meetings after spring break. It is not good for teamwork to miss. Also, watch these videos and note any facts. We have watched these at the meetings already.

See you at 3pm, Monday April 4th.

3 meetings left! Please try to make them all.

Team,

Meetings next week are Monday and Wednesday 3-5 and Friday 6-8.

Performance times on Saturday are 930 skit and 1120 instant challenge.

Homework for Monday: please bring 6 copies of 3 questions each from each country/culture/creature. That is 18 total questions, 3 from each country/culture/creature. Make 6 copies of this. Each one of you will get a packet to take home and fill in. This is for your own benefit, not mine.

This year has been challenging due to everyone's extracurricular activities and myself being in school as well. Most likely we will be heading to state because there is only one other team competing against us. Let's do our best this next week and before the state tournament. Attend meetings and please do the homework for next week. Don't end like you don't care.

For Monday 2/21

There will be a meeting on Monday.

Please try to make it and have your research packets read and highlighted. We need to begin intense skit prep including a knowledge of your countries. How disappointed the regional appraisers will be if one of their favorite teams gives a less than prepared performance!

Look at the meeting days and times. There are meetings beginning next Wednesday.

If you don't have or have lost your new and improved research packet that Lindsey made, then make plans to get a copy.

Thanks! Have a great weekend!

For January 31st

As I mentioned, I will be out of town this coming Monday.

EVERYONE is responsible for making sure it is a good meeting. I will leave detailed instructions along with my camera for filming.

I know you are all seniors (except Jacqueline) and there is a lot going on. Getting the research done well is the work that needs to be done before we can play. You guys have all the ability you need to do it so please use it so we can move forward.

Looking forward to watching what you film!

Mrs. G
