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.

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:

Roman Ladies:  (Elise, Anna Lee)

            White under garments (tank top, leggings or slip)

            Sandals (not flip-flops) or bare feet

            Accessories: roman jewelry and hair pieces (from home/costume closet)

Welcome back!  I hope you all had a relaxing spring break.  We will finish our study of trigonometry this week.  I know you will all be glad to hear that.  We will learn a several more trig identities this week.  These are identities that you do not have to memorize (big sigh of relief); you just need to know how to use them.   We will spend the week practicing using all of these and will plan a test early next week.

Welcome back from spring break! This week we will begin our study of formal proofs of validity by learning to identify and recognize the rules of inference. We will cover lessons 13-14 this week, with a possible quiz on Friday, depending on Grandparents’ Day activities.
