"This is the great power of literature, that by its power our parents long dead can speak to us, and we can listen to them. And if they do not seem to answer when we ask, it may be only because we have not turned the page. And this is the great value of a thoughtful parent or any other true teacher in any other guise - that he has turned many pages." Richard Mitchell, The Gift of Fire
Hello, The next two weeks will practically fly by as we enjoy the fruit of scholars' labor in music and drama. Our fifth grade concert will be held on Thursday evening, so no homework will be assigned for that evening. Scholars can expect to have diagram practice pages for homework on Tuesday and Wednesday, along with nightly rehearsing of assigned Shakespeare lines. We will work on memorizing a list of prepositional phrases by singing them to the tune of "Jingle Bells," which students will recite in class on Friday. Final decisions for details related to our fifth grade presentation of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and an invite will be emailed when the times are confirmed for our program on the Friday of December 16th. Thank you for the support with costumes, and for running through script lines with your child! They are working hard to present a quality performance.
