- Religion: Mrs. Powell taught religion; please see the lesson plans for Chapter and topic.
- Latin: Mrs. Powell helped students complete another chapter in Puella Romana; please check their work and that they finished.
- English: Mrs. Rolling subbed for Mrs. Shaffer today. They started the Intermediate Language Lesson for this week; we talked about "good transitions" in creative writing. I walked around the room and noticed some students could use some extra practice on the rules of capitalization and the possessive.
- Science: Mrs. Cummings led the owl pellet dissections with students and graciously shared her microscope with which to view findings!
- Presentations: Mrs. R. subbed. Two this week! We pulled out the prompt signs and used those today! The students seemed to like the idea very much.
- History: Mrs. R. subbed. With two presentations, we ran short on time. Students were broken up into 3 groups "to practice" a section from the Greek Tragedy Oedipus at Colonos. There was not enough time to finish, but the actors among them liked the idea. Perhaps, it would be fun to act out the play within the family!
- EXTRA ASSIGNMENT: "The Numinous" from the Latin word "numen". Students were asked to find out what this word means. Parents will receive an article via email to help. It is still a struggle for a few students to understand why we learn about mythology when learning about Ancient Greeks (or Romans, for that matter). Parents, Mrs. R. will be sending out some more helpful literature on the topic to guide their understanding.
*Tickets were not distributed this week due to Mrs. S's absence. Please have students hold their assignments until next Monday.
