Honoribus Latine

5/13/2018

 
There are two assessments LOLHS  students participate in to demonstrate their achievement in the study of Latin: The National Latin Exam and the Connecticut Latin Contest. 

The National Latin Exam is an opportunity for students to experience a sense of personal accomplishment and success through the study of the Latin language and culture.  The opportunity exists for each individual student since he or she is not competing with fellow students on a comparative basis, but is evaluated solely on his or her own performance on the exam.

Unlike the National Latin Exam, Connecticut Latin Contest awards are not scored against a standard, but against all CT Latin students who take the exams; the exams are much more challenging and the awards more difficult to earn. 

Below are the results of this year's Latin Exam Achievements ... 
                             BENE FACTUM WILDCATS!

Chemistry Lab... reaching TRIPLE POINT

5/6/2018

 
This week in Chemistry class students blew up water!
​The goal was to reach the triple point of dry ice (solid carbon dioxide). The triple point is reached when all three phases of matter (solid, liquid, gas) exist at the same time. The phase of matter is determined by a combination of temperature and pressure. The kids increased the pressure by sealing a plastic pipet that contained dry ice. They could tell when the triple point was reached because they could see the solid melting at the same time that the liquid was boiling.  Cool.  If they don't release the pressure it will increase to the point of exploding the pipet. Fun.  (The activity is done in a cup of water to contain any shards of plastic that may occur but it also helps to see inside the action inside the pipet as well.)

Lawmakers try to crack down on vaping among teens

5/6/2018

 
WFSB 3 Connecticut
GROTON, CT (WFSB) -As more school districts restrict or limit e-cigarettes and vaping, Senator Richard Blumenthal is demanding more federal action to protect youth from certain products.
Vape shops like the Fog Factory on Bank Street sell vaping products -- flavored liquids that are heated up inside electronic cigarette devices to simulate tobacco smoking with less or no nicotine. That liquid turns into an aerosol which is then inhaled.
However, the product has found its way into the hands of younger teens which has many concerned.

​Despite the on-and-off rain, Latin Day was a great success, and the students who joined me came back exhausted, but enthused about different cultural aspects of Latin.  Some of the contests have not yet been scored and released, but we did have two big wins that we want to celebrate:
  • 1st place, Couples Costume: Aoife Hufford and Kathryn Atkinson (second year in a row!)
  • 1st place, Men’s Costume: Sean Spina
Only two students who went are seniors, and the rest are already planning for next year’s event!  Excelsior!

By Samantha Barretta (Spanish Honor Society Member)

A few weeks ago, my grandmother and her friend came and talked to the Spanish National Honor Society. My grandmother, Judy LeVesque, has been volunteering for a program called Literacy Volunteers for 22 years. The goal of the program is to help adults of all backgrounds with their literacy. One of her many students, Aricelly Ramírez, also came. Sra. Ramírez is originally from Colombia, so she was eager to tell us about Colombia, her family, and her experiences in the United States.
