Dear Third and Fourth-Grade Families,

This Friday is our annual fundraiser! We are so excited and we hope to see you all (adults only, please). Thank you for your participation in our class auction project and thank you for your continuous support of our school!

The students in our class are excited to work on our play, Iduna’s Golden Apples. Last week, the class became familiar with the play by reading the script. They had fun reading the dialogues aloud, especially when the role of Loki, who is always ready for mischief. First, the students read the whole play together, and then they took turns reciting the different parts of the play. They also had time to read the script aloud by themselves. In addition, the class practiced singing the songs that are part of their theater performance. At the end of the week, the students received their roles. They highlighted their lines on the script and took it home to practice.

Virginia, Rowan’s Mom, is helping the class with the play. On Thursday, she will lead the students through the performance and give them advice on projecting their voices. She will also come back to help us to work on stage. In Waldorf schools, class plays are all about cultivating speech and cooperation. Please encourage your child to set aside time to practice at home and help them to memorize their dialogue and add inflection and attitude appropriate to their parts.

Please make sure that your student returns their script to school every day. The students look forward to performing on Tuesday, May 9, at 6:00 p.m.

Thank you to all helpers who brought supplies and put the finishing touches on our auction project last Thursday. It looks amazing!

Reminders:

Now that the weather is warming, please equip your child with sun hats, insect repellent, 2 filled water bottles and water shoes. Creekcess will begin soon, and students may only go in the water if they have hard-soled, closed-toed shoes for the creek.
