Berkeley has offered to provide snacks next week :)
Next week, if children wish to exchange Valentines they are welcome. We talked about this being the age they may or may not wish to participate..TOTALLY OPTIONAL. If everyone wants to wear something red or pink....there's the theme :)
Algebra: Great Day! WE went over the next four lessons. I emphasized to a couple students, if you need me I am available in Kernersville between 2pm and 3pm on Fridays and as always, please feel free to call or email me with any problems. We can work on them together and then they do not seem as intimidating :) (See email with Example problem worked)
Homework: Up to lesson #80. Please remember to test and check work. This is how we know you are retaining the information :)
Rhetoric: Conversation took another turn today, but is was AWESOME! We really delved into what the world throws at us constantly and world view versus God's view and how important it is to surround ourselves with friends that lift us up and not down. I very much encourage you to continue this conversation with them and bring in your influence. This is the age we want them to question everything so we can help them find logical answers and prepare them to arm themselves for battle.
Homework: Chapters 19 both books. Review ALL catechism questions! don't forget there is a link to the left on this page :)
Science: We discussed what Biology is. We reviewed lungs and introduced the mouth teeth and gums. Our science experiment went a tad better.
Homework: Draw and label mouth, teeth, and gums in science notebook. We test on lungs next week. Do bring your biology book to class.
Literature: I read everyone's papers and we tried to guess whose papers were whose. For those that did not turn in a paper. Either your mom emails me to let me know it's good OR you turn in your paper next Tuesday.
Homework: Read Number the Stars. Consider what Uncle Henrik has to say on bravery.
Geography: We put together the following map below. Let's really work on refining that southwest. We test in two weeks. We did have a special guest from China talk to us for a little bit. She did not speak much English but we were able to glean some interesting facts. We also had a Geography Term crossword, to which I received a lot of "Oh, we still have to study those?"....yes.
Homework: Fine tune Asia. Really work on capitals and countries. If you have those well, add some features. Do not forget to study geography terms. Remember these do not need to be word for word. But you do need to be able to read a definition and relate it to what it is. We are up to rapids. Test on ASIA IN 2 WEEKS.
Latin: YEAH, we finally figured out how to make it an hour without exasperating the students :) PTL :) We introduced "sum" and third conjugation endings. We also reviewed vocabulary.
Homework: Please continue to work on the grammar flashcards on the blog post before this. WE need to add our 3rd conjugation endings to that as well. Work book pages are up to #70. Review all vocabulary as well. We will start getting back into parsing over the next few weeks.
**Praying for healthy and blessed weeks. I have received two emails from swim lesson students who have told me they have the flu, so wash those hands, it's going around!
