Kindergarten students were excited to read about and identify the frog they caught at recess. They were sad to have to let it go back into its natural habitat at the end of day. Other students were excited to read about butterflies and the accessories they made in art class.

We are still talking about separation techniques in chemistry, and students made Sodium Tetraborate* crystals. We decided to set up an iPad and video their growth over night using the time-lapse mode. They turned out pretty neat, and many of the students will be bringing them home to show folks. (* also called Borax (as in "twenty mule team..." for some of us older folks)). Here is the link to their video https://drive.google.com/file/d/18kHVgFanP5Cb5hzDe9T2Ssr6FonDocPp/view?usp=sharing

Ladies and Gentlemen,
The fall show is going to be postponed to the Spring Semester. The cast and I decided as a group that this was the best way to put on a show worthy of being on the JCN stage.
We are not going away forever, but we are taking some time to reassess and we will get started back up again in January. I will be making, posting, and sending home schedules with kids as soon as I figure some stuff out!
As of right now, all after school play rehearsals have been canceled and will resume Monday, January 10th, 2022. Please contact me at my school email if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your constant support of the JCN Theatre Department.
