READ IT ALL, DEARIE! ALL MAGIC COMES WITH A PRICE!!!!

History

Over the weekend a couple of parents ask about the Latin and Current Events assignments so let me explain a little more clearly. For the Latin assignment, I only expect a paragraph or maybe two that just lists the fields of study you discover and that tells about the benefits of knowing Latin. Not to make excuses but I wasn’t feeling well on Thursday afternoon and all weekend and this morning when I was reading over the Current Events assignment I noticed a mistake. I do not expect the students to write/type a two page paper about refugees. I would like for them to write/type 1-2 paragraphs about refugees. Please still follow the instructions on the blog that gives questions to think about and answer. Please forgive me for any stress I may have caused you and your children.
