Week 10

Fantastic week!  Just the pick me up I needed.  Well, I had fun, the kids may say otherwise LOL

Addie, thank you for snacks this week, Jared has volunteered next week.

Please keep in prayer:  I have officially been diagnosed with a pneumothorax (collapsed lung).  I have been given permission to sit, that's about it.  You will never know how much today meant to get out of my house and sit and fellowship with others.  Unfortunately, it is not getting better :(  They will recheck me next week, and the possibility exists that, I will be unable to tutor on Tuesday.  If this happens I have a couple subs in mind.  I do not wish to skip a week, especially with the momentum we have going!  I promise you, the woman who might possibly sub, I would trust with my own children.   Thank you for your prayers and understanding :)

And onto......

Algebra: see separate email

Rhetoric: Decent discussion today, and played another round of Jeopardy.
Homework: STUDY THOSE QUESTIONS!!! You may find soon we will not play Jeopardy in teams.  Read Chapters 33 and 35. Parents: Please be encouraged to read chapter 34 and discuss with your child.  We will just not be discussing it in class ;)

Literature: Wow!  Their writing skills have tremendously blossomed this year.  The papers they are turning in  show massive skill.
Homework: Read Door in the Wall.  DO NOT WAIT UNTIL SUNDAY! Yes, it is an easy read, but do not procrastinate.

Science: Science stunk! Literally.  We had to go outside to finish the experiment we started last week.  Our "hard' chicken bone last week, had been leached of all it's calcium.  It proved to be flexible and (much to Addie's dismay) easily broken.  We also took our skin test.
Homework: Next week skeleton quiz.  Draw and label digestive system in notebook.  In Foundations, Cycle 3 the kids make a "body"  I was encouraging those that may have the My Body Book, that may be a fun project to do.

Geography: AWESOME GEOGRAPHY DAY!  We split into teams and drew the world.  I was very impressed.  I wanted to share such a great Geography day with you:

Wishing you could see the maps better!

Homework: Yes, Africa test next week.  We are gearing up for our end of the year test.  Geography Terms go up to timberline.  We will be playing some games with these soon :)

Latin: You know it is a good day when you parse: I have a catapult.  Give me all your money, or I will fling an enormous rock at your head.  We also introduced 4th declension and 4th conjugation.
Homework: It is a light Latin  week due to geography being a bit heavy.  Workbook pages 123 -130.  Quiz will be sent home next week.  It will be up to mom if it is open book or not :)
