* It’s amazing that the school year is already coming to an end. Thank you so much to all the room parents and help that all the families have given this year. Our room parents are planning one last party on the last day of school. Please feel free to join us at 10:30 for fun, games and food. School will be out after the party at 12:00. We hope to see you there.

10-13 mayo

THANK YOU for all the lovely tokens of appreciation that were given to me last week.  What a blessing to not only be showered with many signs of appreciation but to teach gracious and teachable children as well!  I appreciate YOU!

This week there will be no Spanish dancing as Mrs. Bradley is sick and will be away.  

We continue on the theme of “La Familia.”

Keep up the good work!

MAY IN GRAMMAR OF MUSIC CLASSES

Here are some highlights of our planned studies for the month of May:

  • We will review all of our composers from the year throughout this month.  We will also review all the music theory concepts we have learned through games and other activities.  This will prepare us for the “music” section of the Academic Decathlon in which the Houses of Galena, Quartz, Azurite, and Amethyst will compete!
  • NOTE THE CHANGE OF DATE:  The Spring Choral Concert for Grammar 2, Grammar 3, Grammar 4/5, and Logic/Rhetoric choir will be Tuesday night, May 18 at 6:30 p.m. Participation for students in these classes is mandatory.  In the unusual event that a family emergency prevents a student from being at the concert, parents must clear this absence with the Head of School, Alison Moffatt.  Ball games are not considered acceptable reasons for missing the concert.  CONCERT DRESS IS REQUIRED.
  • Each grade level will have a special unit study this month, in many cases to tie in with topics studied in the core classroom.

    • JK – Peter and the Wolf
    K – Peter and the Wolf and “Vivaldi’s Ring of Mystery”
    G1 – Peter and the Wolf and American Patriotic Music (including Sousa)
    G2 – Verdi’s opera “Aida” set in ancient Egypt
    G3 – Gustav’s “The Planets”
    G4/5 – Musical stories and tunes from the Revolutionary and Civil Wars of America
