Week 9 Recap & Notes

Today our memory work covered:

History:  Confucius
Timeline:  Byzantine Emperor Justinian to Vikings Raid & Trade
Science:  Parts of a Plant
English:  Prepositions from outside to since
Latin:  4th Declension Noun Endings
Math:  Skip counting 15's
Geography:  Eastern Asia

Students are doing GREAT with the tin whistle!  Everyone was able to play the first measure of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" today!  Please review the music vocabulary (the bolded words found in the music appendix on pages 157-182 of the Foundations guide).  They can also practice "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" if they have time (page 178 in the Foundations guide).  Great job remembering whistles!  Keep bringing them!

For presentation next week:  Recite a poem
Choose any kind of poem. It can be funny or serious. Memorize as much as you can and use notes only if needed. Remember to enhance your recitation with expression and gestures.

Your students did a great job keeping it to 2-3 minutes today.  Keep practicing keeping their speeches within the time limit!  And if you are interested in ICC, please see Ty after class.

I think that's everything for now.  Please feel free to email me if you have any questions!
