Gospel of Mark 9: "We saw his glory" ~ Second Sunday of Lent

Good Morning and Welcome to Unit 21 - a wonderfully standard and uneventful week!

WHY WE DO THAT ~ Handwritten Work:  Handwritten work affects the mind differently than typewritten work.  "When students wrote the words by hand, the sensors picked up widespread connectivity across many brain regions. Typing, however, led to minimal activity, if any, in the same areas." 
Parents: Read the whole article "Why Writing by Hand is Better for Memory and Learning" by Charlotte Hu at Scientific America

"The Road not Taken" by Robert Frost.  Recited by Rose Dean.
