In our Student Life meeting last Tuesday night, we found that many of you would like an opportunity to sit down with your child and an administrator in order to discuss Fine Arts, Athletics, clubs and other academic programs at Live Oak.  Mrs. Moffatt, Mrs. Still and Mr. Goff would like to schedule fifteen minute meetings with you and your student so that we may discuss possible options for next year. We will try to develop those programs that you want for your child in-line with the school vision.  On Friday, May 14th, we will be available from 9am-11:30am and 1pm-2pm for meetings. Beginning on Monday, May 17th and Wednesday 19th, we will offer times during the school day and early evening to meet with you. Please email office@liveoakclassical.com with convenient days and times to meet with an administrator.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon,

Alison Moffatt, Carolyn Still and Casey Goff

On Monday we will go over a reading from the Medieval Sourcebook, which covers some of Ignatius Loyola’s Spiritual Exercises.  Class on Tuesday will involve a discussion about the Medieval period as a whole.  Everyone is expected to participate.  We will begin our exam review on Wednesday and this will continue through Friday.  We will examine old tests and quizzes as well as play exam Jeopardy.  Please make sure that you have your notebook each day.

Remember to READ from a variety of genres.  And read, read, read!  You may consider spending a designated time everyday preparing for the PSAT, SAT, or ACT.  The remuneration for such efforts could be outstanding.

When traveling this summer, why not visit a college campus or two?

Have a great week!

Tuesday: Quiz over lines 1-9 of “Pilate the Roman Governor…” and the Apostle’s Creed.  Remember that you need to be ready to work quickly to complete the quiz.  I will NOT include all 9 lines, but will pull some sentences from this section.  Make certain to study the word list for these lines and to go over your translation.  I will give you 5 minutes with your dictionary to look up some words, but if  you can’t recognize the stems of the words, the dictionary won’t help.  Memorize as much of the new vocabulary as possible, so that your 5 minutes will be double-checking rather than panicking.  Also on Tuesday, you need the word list and/or translation of the two brief passages on Paul, “Paul Appels to His Rights…” and “Paul Appeals to Caesar.”  When looking up words, remember to first look at the words glossed in the footnotes to save time.

Thursday: No school.
