"Throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

As summer begins, I want to commend the boys on embracing the symbolism of our class's banner. The white demonstrates the strength and pride associated with all of the boys' classes, and the black embodies the solid foundation they will receive in our lower school. These characteristics were shown throughout this year and will be carried into Tenth Age. The shape of the banner symbolized the growth of the class emotionally, socially, academically, and athletically. This development was evident throughout Ninth Age, and I cannot wait to see them take on their leadership roles next year. Enjoy the explorations, dreams, and discoveries of the summer, and I will see you next fall!

Medieval Times Pictures

Medieval Times Project

The boys have been so excited to start the Medieval Times project! Many have already found their facts and are planning their visuals or thinking about their presentations. The topics this year are ranging from trebuchets to knighthood, and I cannot wait to see the performances and learn from our Ninth Age history teachers!

Math on Mother's Day!

Here is a little Mother's Day math challenge from IXL Learning:

Medieval Times

The boys had an incredible time at Medieval Times! We will be starting out Medieval Unit and discussing the Medieval Times project in history this week! 

Biome Research

The boys continue their research, writing, and collaboration this week as they learn about the climate of their individual biomes.

Thank you!
