A Look Ahead
Classical Conversations at New Hope
A Note from your Director . . .
Happy New Year!
Time to head back to CC! I hope having this extra week after the holidays has allowed you to ease back into your homeschool routine. It has given me much needed time to reevaluate and implement a revised schedule that seems to be working good, so far anyways!
* Bring an old t-shirt (old dress shirt of dad's works well) for art the next 6 weeks. Good idea to just leave it in their backpacks for this whole 6 weeks as we will be doing some fun but messy art.
* Make-Up Picture Day this week. We will be using these pictures with one of our art projects so we need to finish them up.
* Art/Nursery Fees due this week
* Parent meeting after kids dismissed for class this week to discuss points from the survey I sent out after Week 12.
* Start thinking about next year! See email sent on 1/7/16
Duties:
Recess: Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Close, Mrs. Colf (in the case of inclement weather Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Close will supervise little ones in fellowship hall while Mrs. Colf and I take the big kids upstairs for a movie or game)
3 P's:
Schlotterbeck
Student Presentation Suggestion:
Register by February 2nd (paperwork and fee) and be entered into a drawing for a special prize!
Just for fun:
Ask your kids if they know the translation of these Latin words to English!
Frigidarium (hint: bathing room with really cold water) - Refrigerator
Familia - Family
Liber (hint: meant book, where do we go that they keep lots of books?) - Library
Navis (hint: means many ships that sail together) - Navy
Have you used or seen "P.S." in a letter? It means "post scriptum" or "after the writing" and is derived from Latin.
Latin is relevant!
Blessings, Jennifer
