0, 1, 2, 3, 4 Voice Levels in Assembly

Our Scholars were a huge help Friday demonstrating the five voice levels for the entire school at the self-control assembly. We learned the signs for some of our foundation stones and went back to our classroom to practice them even more (see photos).

Unfortunately we weren't able to get into the computer lab last week due to makeups for testing. We worked on our Myths in the classroom and are hoping to finish writing them on Monday in class. Scholars will then need to type them up and hand them in (hard copy) on Friday. They need to save their final copy on their stick drives so that if need be they can email it to me for publishing. I will grade the papers next weekend and go from there.

There will be no essay writing this week because we are beginning our speech writing for Original Oratory. We will be working on those in class and scholars will be writing one minute at a time. They will begin memorizing by Tuesday. Some are already learning to "talk to the wall". Ask your scholar exactly what that means :).

We will begin our unit on Sound in Science on Monday. We are working on putting together our field trip which will take place the last week of October. As soon as details are finalized, we will update the blogs, and send email home.

We will also begin our Ratios unit in Math, and our Deserts unit in History. The next ten days of school will be intense and full of new learning. Exciting times!
