CATCHING THEM IN THE ACT
A CONSERVATORY PREP NEWS LETTER
Week of February 8- 12, 2016
Every morning we start our day with mindfulness meditation and exercises to relieve morning stress and anxiety and begin class centered and ready to learn. Apparently, this idea has caught on in other schools around the country. I encourage you to read the article Calming the Teenage Mind in the Classroom.
On Friday, February 19th we will be going to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in the morning to see Shakespeare Improvised. After the show, we will partake in an improv class led by the actors in the show.

European History
The students are currently studying the concept of Humanism and its impact on the developing culture, politics, and religious beliefs of modern Europe, which began during the Renaissance period. By comparing and contrasting the artwork of the Middle Ages with artwork of the Renaissance, the change from a religious view of the world to a humanistic view of the world is evident. We will continue our study of the impact of the Humanist ideal as we learn about the Reformation, the political lessons of Machievelli's The Prince, and the Enlightenment phlilosophers Hobbes, Locke, de Montesquieu, and Rousseau.
