Hello Essentials Moms!

This is our last week of Essentials work...can you believe it? You should be working through the sentences for the week in the Analytical Task Sheet, with special emphasis on the Quid et Quo if you have a 2nd or 3rd year student. All charts may be reviewed this week. Please also polish up the Faces of History Report and compose 1-3 sentences introducing the character (in the 1st person).

This Thursday is our final day to meet, and the exciting End of Year Reading. This means your child may read his/her Faces of History Report while wearing their costume! Please have them dress in costume at the end of lunch, so they are already dressed when class starts at 1pm.

We will also practice for our End of Year Presentation Night (May 11) by walking into stage and reciting from memory the 1-3 sentences introducing their character. Please bring your students sentences as a printed hardcopy. For students who have memorized their sentences and can recite from memory, Mrs. Morse has promised rewards!

As a fun change for the day, we will have all the girls meet together and all the boys meet together. Our schedule will be as follows:
