Monday, 11/28: The Tempest

* Pray: Advent

This is a painting by Hans Memling (15th century): The Advent and Triumph of Christ. If you zoom in, you can see various scenes in Christ's life. Can you recognize any?

Lear Quiz by the Numbers

As a student still needs to take this quiz, I couldn't hand them back, but here is a breakdown for you (the score is on focus).

Most students made it into the 20-22 range. 

If you were far below that, you'll want to study your first M/C tests more carefully and review the answers. 

We had a perfect score and a near perfect score with Jinsol and Nikki; congratulations! 

Also, your senior class is 3% ahead of last year's M.C. test takers. 

Enjoy,

Mr. S
