Classical Conversations of the Roanoke Valley

Journeymen and Masters students and parents,

We had a great day September 10. We were a small group this week but we accomplished much. It will be terrific to have everyone back on the 17th! We did a science experiment that explained why dead fish float and another one that showed how spiders can feel the size of their web intruders by the vibrations on their web. If you have the "Janice Vancleave's 201 Awesome, Magical, Bizarre, and Incredible Experiments" these were #54 and #56. The students are bringing home their Scientific Experiment sheets so that, if they would like, they can reproduce the experiments we've done.
This is a web site that has some great drawing sheets and ideas if anyone wants some extra practice: http://donnayoung.org/art/draw1.htm.
We also did some new hand motions to the 10 commandments that may help with our memory work. These are found here: http://harvestministry.org/hand-commands-explanation.
Also there is a really catchy preposition song on the "Weekly" Cycle 1 CD track 25.
The children did a fantastic job on their presentations. We had some very interesting things shared.
I hope everyone has a wonderful week and look forward to next week. We will continue with a thorough review of the previous 2 weeks. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 309-5620.
Mrs. Murphy
