A hush fell over the classroom as pencils scratched across the papers, their graphite tips leaving a streak behind. The students hunched over their desks, searching for that elusive treasure, an A. (In other words we took our math test today that we spent all period yesterday reviewing for.) We also spent some time working on some decorations for the hallway, sharing our favorite passages. We made some notes and cards for Mr. Jacob Haag to encourage him in his study to be a pastor. We looked at some of the "stan" countries in geography as well. Ask your student why their country names have stan in them. We checked out a video about hurricanes that talked about them but also what we are doing to track them and try to prepare for them. As if that wasn't enough, we learned about monodic and polyphonic music by comparing Bach and Chopin. Curious? Click here .
