I hope everyone had a great spring break. Back to work on parabolas this week. Who knew you could find out so much information from a parabola? You will all be experts before we are finished. We will spend Monday reviewing what we have learned and then spend the rest of the week working on solving some real world problems. I plan to give a test on Friday over this material.
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.

You will have several questions to answer regarding the articles. We will read from the Medieval Sourcebook on Tuesday and discuss several eyewitness accounts of the Plague. You will have several questions that correspond to this reading as well. On Wednesday, I will lecture about the political, economic and demographic impact of the Plague. Please recopy the notes and be prepared for a quiz on Friday. On Thursday, we will watch a History Channel presentation about the Black Death.

The structure of Latin III will be different for the rest of the year, with our focus primarily on translating excerpts of primary Roman texts, otherwise known as ”real Latin”. Daily homework will consist of short translation passages or grammar sheets that guide students through the structure and syntax of a previously translated passage. It is more imperative than ever for students to keep up with their homework assignments as we will be gradually working our way through larger passages.
