Logic I March 1-5

Dear Students,

February has flown by! This week we find ourselves already in the month of March, and with it comes some time to rest and rejuvenate. Before you gear up for Spring Break, buckle down for one last week of work:

Monday: Chapter 5 Quiz! Use your logic squares and your chapter to help you study for it. You also have a study guide.

Tuesday – Friday: Agenda TBA in class. For now, just concentrate on Monday’s quiz.

Our memory work for this week will include last week’s verses and two new ones (so it will be Matthew 5:31-34).

Miss Kaminer

Dear Logic Parents,

This year our Logic students will be performing a cut version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  The performances will be Thursday, March 18^th at 1:45pm and Friday March 19^th in the evening (time TBA).  

The week of the play, your students have after school rehearsal until 6:00 pm.  This includes Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday March 15-17.  (Dress rehearsal on the 17^th.)  If your student is unable to attend any portion of these rehearsals, please let me know as soon as possible.  An afterschool snack is highly recommended on theses days. 

In regards to costumes, we are well underway.  All tunics, togas and woodland tunics have been procured in the costume closet.  However there are a few basics your student needs to procure on their own.  Hopefully these are things you already have at home or can be easily bought at a Wal-Mart type store.  Please find your students name or their character in the information that follows and procure what is needed for their costume by Feb. 4^h .  Please send these items with your student to school that day.  Shanie Wenzel has become our point person for costumes and you may contact her with questions at swenzel@liveoakclassical.com. 

Here is what your student needs to procure:

            White under garments (tank top, leggings or slip)

NO JOURNALS DUE OVER EXODUS… BECAUSE I STILL HAVE YOUR JOURNALS!!  SO SORRY FOR THE MIX-UP!

Week of 3/1-3/5

We are going to be finishing up our unit on graphing this week.  The last concept to study is the combination of inequalities with the coordinate plane.  Remember the good old days when every problem had one answer?  That certainly is the case no more.

After Tuesday we will begin our new unit on Area and Perimeter.  Though you have talked about these concepts before, this is the first time you will be able to bring the powerful weapon of algebra to bear on geometry.  We are going to be finding area and perimeter in a whole new way.

The last few articles from the New York Times have taken us up through addition, multiplication and subtraction.  There is one basic operation left, and it sure is an oddball.  Find out why at #4 – Division and Its Discontents.

We have been waylaid a bit  by all of the many wonderful things that were going on at Live Oak last week (snow being at the top of that list, of course). But not to worry. We are picking up with a quick review of the parts of the water cycle that we have gotten to cover thus far in class, and then we will move on to study condensation and precipitation.

Mr. Sterchi

The History Fair is less than a week away! By Monday, the 22^nd, everyone is to have their short opinion portion of their presentation re-written in its final form, ready to be added to the end of their presentation. We will work in class on Monday to finish organizing our facts into a wonderful cohesive presentation, because on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we will be presenting in class for each other, receiving feedback on presentation style, organization, and clarity so that, by Friday, the presentations will flow forth naturally and instinctively at the History Fair. Please remember that everyone is to come to school on Friday in their costumes, as the fair will begin at the start of 1^st period. Please email me with questions as they arise.

Mr. Sterchi
