Week 11

Excitement is building as we get closer to dissection day!! (week 14)

Thank you Jared for snack and next week I will cover.

Thank you everyone for your prayers for my health!  Praise the Lord I have been given permission from my Dr. to rejoin life again, YEAH!!

If you have any great ideas for our end of the year party, please let me know.  I was hoping to combine with Ms. Sharon for the afternoon of Week 15, but they have too much to do with mock trial so it will just be us.  On Week 15, after we take our final tests in the morning, I thought it would be nice to go somewhere and have our end of the year get together.  Celebration Station could be pricey if it is just the 7 of us.  What are your thoughts mom??????

Algebra: See separate email.

Rhetoric: Good discussion.  A little extra chatter, but nothing I couldn't handle.  I do believe spring fever is upon us!
Homework: Read Chapters 36 and 39.   I wish to encourage to read through 37 and 38 with mom and dad!  LEARN THOSE CATECHISM QUESTIONS!!

Literature: We talked about what a character analysis is and I sent home some sheets to give direction.  They MAY NOT be able to answer every question on that sheet, but it will give them ideas.  We also did NOT do an outline in class.  We discussed practicing putting one together on their own as the next step in the process of preparing for Challenge B.
Homework: Write a character analysis of Robin from the Door in the Wall.  You may wish to start reading Bronze Bow.

Science: We took our quiz on the skeleton. We reviewed the digestive system, then introduced the eye with some fun optical illusions.
Homework: Prepare for quiz on digestive system.  Draw and label eye in notebook. Review all parts for upcoming end of the year test. (You will only be tested on one part, you do not know which one that will be:)

Geography: We took our Africa test.  Next week we have a guest :) I did feel really bad, there are only so many hours in the week and I did not grade the "worlds" they had assembled last week.  That is tops this week though!
Homework: Study for quiz on Australia and New Zealand.  Study for upcoming MEGA geography Term quiz on Week 13. (Terms go up to upstream now)

Latin: Well with only Jared in Latin today, we did not go for the full hour :)  We did introduce 5th Declension, and looked at his silly Latin sentence parsed ;)
Homework: Workbook up to pages 138.  Work on memorizing declension endings.  Work on memorizing grammar rules.
