WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS

PRESTON

Preston wrote a poem this week for his language arts course.  He is learning so much about the elements of poetry and reading many great poems from poets throughout time.  He complains a little bit when he has an assignment that asks him to write a poem, but he always ends up doing such a great job.  His writing is inspiring.  

MARISSA

Marissa read "The Imaginary Invalid" by Moliere for her Classical Acting class this week.  It is a French Farce.  She really enjoyed the play, which was a nice change from reading a tragedy a couple weeks ago.  She also learned about method acting and took notes on her final scene, which she will work on and perform at the end of the year.  She took notes on what emotions her character was feeling during the monologue.  She chose a scene from "As You Like It" to be her final scene and is working on it as she learns different elements of acting this year.  

CALEB

Caleb learned about the Navajo Code talkers for his Ninja Scholars class.  He was so excited to make his own secret code to take to class for his peers to decipher.  What an interesting topic from history!
