Chinese Cultural Fair
Friday, March 8, 2013
Concordia University
Ages 3-13
Time: 2-4:30 PM
Wisconsin Virtual Learning was fortunate enough to recently host students and faculty from Shanghai Normal University. They were interested in learning more about online education in the United States. We were excited to show them our live online classes and how we are able to personalize learning for each of our students.
To promote Chinese culture, history, and art, this group has developed interactive, hands-on activities for a
Chinese Cultural Fair, designed for children, ages 3-13. School groups and families are invited to participate as their
schedules allow. Activity stations will be available from 2:00 - 4:30 p.m., and participants may move between stations
as they wish.

Optional Outings
WVL will sponsor optional outings, organized by teachers and/or parents, for students and families on a regular basis that enhance the curriculum/learning activities. While attendance is not mandatory, it is a wonderful opportunity to meet other school participants and have conversations about the children, programs and share practices that work. It is an opportunity for both the students and parents to socialize. It is our hope that the teacher and parents will work together to design and implement these activities.
For the 2012 - 2013 school year, outings will be scheduled throughout the year and will be posted on the online calendar with the specific dates, times and other details of the outings.
Parents are responsible for the cost of transportation and any entrance fees associated with optional outings.
Parents are responsible for the supervision of their children at all times.
Parents and students are expected to conduct themselves appropriately at all optional outings.
