The Latin classes have spent most of April investigating the geography, art, and architecture of the Roman Empire.  The arch, columns and capitals, and the engineering feats of the aqueducts were highlights of many courses while fourth grade has begun to study the organization of the military.  Preschool students also explored mosaics, and they even made some of their own.

As the year draws to a close we will study Roman entertainment such as chariot racing and Ceres, the goddess of grain and agriculture.  We will continue to study and pray the Ave, Maria (Hail, Mary) during the month of May, devoted to the Mother of God.

Computers classes are continuing to utilize both the iPad and PC labs.  Younger students continue to learn basic skills of mouse and stylus manipulation while middle grades practice typing skills, word processing, and internet searches and browser settings.  Fifth through eighth grades have begun to explore HTML, website design, and are evaluating effective versus ineffective sites.
