Tuesday, April 27th—field trip to the Asian Art Museum
Program title: Ancient China: Tombs and Temples
Begins at 9:45 a.m.; we will leave school at 8:45 a.m. and return to school for lunch. We need six adult chaperones.

Renaissance Faire is scheduled for Friday, May 21st, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The St. Andrew’s Guild was already invited to join us that day. Understand that the members of the Guild must take the time to dress for the occasion and travel long distance to enrich us with their expert knowledge of the European Renaissance. Each student in the school should donate $1.00 to express a token of appreciation.

Please help your child by creating and/or finding a Renaissance-looking costume. Parent helpers are most welcome; we could have a fundraiser during this event in the auditorium selling Renaissance-type of refreshments: shortbread cookies, apple cider, and other baked goods related to the Renaissance. Please refer to online ideas under Renaissance cuisine or recipes.

For the next few weeks, the courses of Social Studies and Language Arts will be integrated. For example, Social Studies key terms will also be credited for Spelling & Vocabulary; reading and comprehension of the lessons will be credited for both Social Studies and Language Arts.

Preparations leading to the Renaissance Faire: please assist your child by helping to gather resources for the Social Studies projects on the Renaissance-- at the library, book stores, online. Art materials will be needed: display boards, poster boards, paint, brushes, new markers, and 3-D models, dioramas, etc.

Graduation reception: we will need help from parents to set-up the auditorium, serve refreshments, and clean-up. Ms. Michelle Holcomb, our room parent, will help in organizing the help needed for the reception. Remember, your child will be enjoying the graduation reception that will be organized by the upcoming seventh graders!

Date of graduation: Friday, May 28th at 5:00 p.m.
Reception in the auditorium: 6:00-7:00 p.m. (approximately).

A reminder that there is definitely HOMEWORK EVERYDAY ESPECIALLY IN MATH! Students are very familiar with the Math Tutor programs online. Reviewing the math lesson on a daily basis is crucial to understanding more complex math standards.

Please help your child by encouraging him / her to review math lessons by re-reading textbook explanations, examples, and using the Math Tutor program frequently.
