Devotional
Our memorization of Battle Cry of Freedom if coming along.
Don't forget to bring your instruments (can even be spoons, drumsticks or whatever) for our SOF band. Next week will be our last week working on this song in class.
We had a few more students pass off D&C 134:3. Yeah!
We encourage the rest of you to pass it off ASAP!
(Have we mentioned you shouldn't wait until April to memorize everything?!)
Gettysburg Address Memorization
We spent a lot of time working on the Gettysburg Address. Most of the students worked with General Behymer using pictures cues. Meridian and Kensi worked with Generals Baker and Casalegno using an adapted "Firework" song version of the Address. (Link to the song- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04RJM3TU1Ag&feature=player_embedded )
Everyone made a lot of progress, but keep memorizing at home.
You should have memorized up to the words "nobly advanced" by now.
Presentations
Mathew and Gabe both gave great presentations on weapons and "Life as a Slave."
I have pictures, but I haven't been able to download them. I will post them as soon as I can.
Sorry guys :(
