In more ways than ever before, this year I am thankful for my family and for the community of Our Lady of Victory.

The Romans didn't have turkeys, but they did have peacocks (a very expensive delicacy, in fact)!  Ask your 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 6th grader about Io, Argos, and the etiology of the peacock.

Computers this short week will consist of Thanksgiving-themed games for the younger students and continuation of Microsoft Excel for 4th through 8th grades.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Busy about many things

All classes are abuzz in Latin and Computers at OLV.  After a couple of weeks missed due to scheduling conflicts and illnesses, Microsoft Excel is back on the monitors of the 4th through 8th graders.  Younger students have had a chance to "dissect" a computer tower and examine its internal structure.

Latin students are learning more about the geography and history of Rome and the Roman Empire, and we are beginning to explore more aspects of daily life - including meals, housing, and mythology.
