LAPLACE – During this uncertain time, St. Charles Catholic has incorporated structured distance learning with expectations of attendance, punctuality and a timely completion of assignments, just to name a few.

English classes have been busy with writing, exploring, researching, and making presentations this quarter. This week, Mrs. Flynn’s classes are writing original short stories based on the works of Flannery O’Connor and Ernest Hemingway. Mrs. Lohfink’s Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition seniors are preparing to take their AP Exam while wrapping up their final reflective projects. In what has become an end-of-year tradition, her AP seniors display the visual components of their projects in the Red Room. Then Mrs. Lohfink presents them with their outdoor writing photos.

Math classes are doing cooking projects, continual problems practice and special assignments related to current events. The Robotics class is learning about various ways in which robots are being used in the handling and treatment of COVID-19. Statistics students have investigated “flattening the curve” in the virus spread, as well calculating a person’s chance of infection based on infection rate in the population.
