WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS

PRESTON

Preston participated in the book discussion in Classical Acting this week.  He read the Greek Trajedy "Prometheus Bound" for class and was prepared to participate in the colloquium.  He had lots of good comments to add and enjoyed class this week.  He loves ancient Greece and has enjoyed this month focusing on themes and topics from that period of time.   

MARISSA

Marissa read "Math and Magic in Wonderland" for her Pyramid class.  She found it very interesting to learn about mathematical concepts through a fun story.  Math is definitely not her favorite subject, but she is doing a great job working through Pre-Algebra in the Learn Math Fast System this year.  She is also gaining greater understanding of mathematical and scientific concepts in her Pyramid class.  

CALEB

Caleb read "Carry On, Mr. Bowditch" for his Ninja Scholars class.  He really enjoyed how mathematical Nat was in the book.  He said it was really interesting to learn how Nat used the stars to calculate where they were.  We looked up a few videos on YouTube to explain navigation even better.  It was really fun to learn. 

Caleb also completed a service project helping take ropes off of the peach trees at a peach orchard.  He had so much fun and even got to ride in the special cart down to the trees.
