Dear Students,

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 18th at 1:45pm and Friday March 19th 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 17th.) 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. 4h . 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.

Welcome back! We are going to continue our work with area this week! We are going to add a few more common shapes to our repertoire, and then see that with a little elbow grease we can find areas of some mighty strange shapes. We will spend a lot of time this week practicing so that by the Friday you will feel like old chums with all the formulas and variables we are using.
The next NY Times article elucidates the oft-cited, but under-appreciated sector of mathematics, algebra. Read on at #5 – The Joy of x. Quite timely for our studies this year!

Extra Help: If you desire a little extra Latin practice, try the online exercises available on www.PHSchool.com. Enter the code found on the first page of the chapter you are currently working on. Both grammar and vocabulary exercises are available.
Welcome back. We have nearly completed out discussion of the water cycle, and it has proven to be an interesting exploration of something that is happening around us everywhere and all of the time. This week, we will tie up the last couple of steps in the cycle as well as conclude the Great Water Saga, the story that we have been creating in which we, as water molecules, travel around the world visiting friends and relatives by way of the different steps of the water cycle. It will be quite fun to hear these stories in the entirety when they are complete.
Mr. Sterchi
Welcome back from spring break, and welcome to what will surely be a last quarter of lightning speed. As it turns out, the last post that I had made with details about the success of the History Fair and our discussions about the Minoans did not actually post, and I apologize that I am just now noticing that. The History Fair was indeed a raging success, thanks completely to the wonderful presentations that were made and the wonderful costumes that were worn. It was great fun.
Since then, we have begun our long awaited exploration of Ancient Greece, beginning the Minoans. It has been very interesting to talk together about these mysterious people as we look to their art and artifacts for clues about that they may have been like. We will wrap up our discussion of the Minoans by looking together at the story of King Minos and his Minotaur. There will be a quiz on Wednesday over the Minoans and I will be passing out a review in class on Monday. After that we will move on to the Mycenaeans.
