Week 6 Recap & Notes

Hi Parents!

We've made it to the halfway point of the semester!  Woo hoo!

This week we covered:

• History: the fall of Rome
• Timeline: India's Mauryan Empire - John the Baptist
• Science: major groups of invertebrates
• Latin: 2nd declension noun endings (both plural & singular)
• Geography: Roman Empire
• Math: skip counting 11's & 12's
• English: prepositions beginning with down

Next week for Fine Arts we begin using our Tin Whistle.  Please bring your whistle to class next week.  If you do not have a whistle yet, you can purchase one at Learning Express (located behind La Madeleine at Severn & 17th) for $5.

Presentation assignment for next week is a short biography & famous speech.  Begin your presentation with a 1 minute introduction of the person giving the speech, and then a 2 minute recitation or summary of the speech.  Some examples would be Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech, or the Apostle Paul's speech to the Athenians (found in Acts 17).  Please practice this week and keep the presentations to 3-4 minutes in length.

Has everyone been able to get on CC Connected?  If you are still having trouble, let me know.

Please email me if you have any questions!  See you next week!
