This year, St. Catherine’s Montessori will receive $20 for every turkey purchased by members of the SCM community.
Make your holiday preparations a little easier. On Thanksgiving Day, just reheat your turkey in the oven at 350°F for two hours, or until the turkey breast reaches 165°.

If you’re interested in learning about the brining and smoking process and/or lending a hand, the Knights will be doing the prep work Saturday, Nov. 17 through Tuesday, Nov. 20 at Cathedral Centre, and smoking the turkeys all day Wednesday, Nov. 21 in the Centre parking lot. All are encouraged to participate. On Wednesday, the Knights will have food and drinks for everyone to enjoy, as well as games for the kids.

Welcome back to the High School Corner!
|
|
Math in the High School is a mixture of individual work and group projects. Every time math class comes around, we grab our respective textbooks and calculators and get cracking on our work. Ms. Hijazi, our math teacher, comes around and meets with each of us individually to check on our progress and give us new work. We all value the fact that we get to work at our own pace.
Although we’re working in a variety of levels and types of math, everything is so integrated that we partake in group lessons as well. Our most recent lesson introduced us to the early Greek mathematicians. It can be easy to memorize theorems and never think about the work that was put into them thousands of years ago, but stopping and recognizing their magnitude makes them all the more meaningful. We have each been assigned to pick from a list of Greek mathematicians including Apollonius, Diophantus, Pythagoras, and Zeno. After having selected a mathematician, we will research and do the math for a specific concept that they pursued.
Not only does researching these mathematicians add more depth to the math problems we do on an everyday basis, it also connects with our Humanities studies, as many of these great thinkers figured prominently in history. We look forward to working through the same calculations that laid down the foundation for the math we do every day.
Thank you for reading, and we hope you’re back next week!

The skittle burst and peppermint eucalyptus soaps will be making another appearance at the AC Market! We make our soap in the science lab, where we learn about the chemical reactions involved in soap-making, and the molecular structure of fatty acids and bases. We use mathematical formulas when calculating the quantity of sodium hydroxide and oils. Packaging and selling the soap allows us to learn about marketing and to be part of our micro economy. We also love to get creative with the labels.

AC Market Manager
P.S. If you return the glass honey jar, you will receive $1 off your next purchase of AC honey.
