Dear 4th Grade Parents,
Welcome to week 8! We have an exciting and short week ahead of us! On Thursday we have our FIne Arts Night.
On May 9th from 6pm-8pm we invite you to please join us for our annual Fine Arts Night. This is a celebration of the hard work our scholars have put into their art studies this year. In addition to this, you will be able to take a glimpse into the different language skills your students have been learning in Latin. There will be Songs, slide shows, and interactive displays showcasing the talents of vocabulary building, composition, and Latin word formation. Consider trying out Latin dialogue scripts with your student, or translating their illustrated Latin sentences.
In order to be able to accommodate everyone, we have grouped our community into two groups. Please, kindly adhere to this schedule, so that we can all move freely and enjoy the great works by our students. Refreshments will be served.
- 6:00pm - 7:00pm (Last names A-K)
- 7:00pm - 8:00pm (Last names L-Z)
Available now is the Singapore Summer practice book (cost: $14). Parents usually purchase the grade level the student will be entering. (example: 5 is for students who have completed 4th grade). The book can be ordered here:
