Community Helper Performances-Tuesday, January 27th-VHC and VBS Classes 2015
To top off our community helper unit, the Very Hungry Caterpillar and the Very Busy Spider classes will be holding a special performance of the songs they learned throughout our community helper unit. The performances are scheduled as follows:
Tuesday, January 27th
Very Hungry Caterpillars-11:30 a.m.
Very Busy Spiders-2:30 p.m.
All performances will take place in the sanctuary.
We are happily beginning to put together our community helper performances and would like your help. We are asking you to outfit your child in appropriate attire to match the occupation he or she is assigned for our performance. (This does not need to be anything fancy). We would also like you to help your child learn the song, which goes with his or her occupation. (Songs after assignments, at the bottom of the page.) We have talked about many of these occupations, and have let the students know that this is not what they have to be when they grow up, it’s just a part for our show. Thanks so much for your help!
