This might be a dumb question, but what grades are invited to the EOG dance in Elementary school? My son is in 3rd and seems to think he can go, but I have heard nothing about it, all I know is it's on the last day of school.
The dance is for all grades that participated in the EOG tests. As a 3rd grader your son should get to go. Last year my son was in the 3rd grade and he had a blast at the dance.
Sorry, I don't get having a "dance" for elementary school. I think it goes right along with society getting our kids to act older when they are developementally not ready. I have a 3rd grader who was miserable and did not understand what all the hype was over having a "DJ" party. I am not against parites and celebrations, I just don't understand why having a dance in elementary is appropriate.
It's really "activities while listening to music", but that just doesn't sound right, does it? Last year there were games, limbo contests, hula hoop contests, etc.
Activities while music is playing is much different than calling it a "DJ Dance party" in my opinion!
Mine doesn't. I don't know what you call what he does. It's a combination of flailing about and break dancing. I've tried to show him how (I grew up watching Sooouuul Train) but he always breaks out the air guitar and slams himself on the bed. ... lol :jester: At least he has fun. And that's what it's all about.
McGee's & Polenta I know already had their dance the Friday after EOG's. Polenta had a DJ but McGee's just had music played from the AP. I understand Polenta had some music that parents did not like. The dances were held during the school day.
Did your parents like the music you listened to? Mine did not. I'm sure that my grandparents didn't like the stuff my parents listened to. I was at the school all day then. And it was more of a loud (for my old ears) mish-mesh of kids bouncing, yelling, talking, watching, dancing, standing around.. While I take exception to some lyrics that I hear, I am confident that inappropriate music wasn't played. That said, I am sure that some parents object to the music that is played. And that is their right. Perhaps a word in advance to the parents from the school and good communication from the parents to the school might have precluded the parents being upset.
