Welcome to 2023!
A text about the history of the Middle Ages written in the style of an authentic Medieval manuscript, by Jake (grade 4).
Happy new year, Philomath community! Our third academic quarter kicked off on Thursday, January 5th, and we’re excited as heck to dive into some fascinating new material. In Science we’ve started a new unit on fossils and energy, and in ELA our class is returning to the nonfiction world to examine how authors share information and opinions effectively.
Here are a couple of important facts and dates to keep in mind for the near future:
Monday, January 16th is a holiday as we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. There will be no regularly scheduled classes, IS, or 1:1 tutoring on this day.
There will be a floating holiday sometime in the first half of the quarter when Professor Smith welcomes a new baby to her family! There will be no classes occurring on that floating holiday, when it happens. We won’t be able to give much warning for this holiday, so keep an eye on your email inbox!
Finally, we’re proud to share the story chosen as the winner of last month’s story contest, by Jeremiah Dessources (6th grade). Keep an eye out for our January story contest, due on Friday the 20th.
As always, thanks for all you do, Philomath families!
