Week 12!!

Three more weeks, I cannot believe it!!   Next week will seem quiet, as Foundations will not meet.

Hannah has volunteered for snack next week.

A lot of activities were discussed for end of year.  What I am looking at for week 15 is: coming in for Math and to take our Science test and Big Geography test (see email).  Stay on campus for lunch, then between 1pm and 3-4pm we could go off campus for a fun activity.  If there is any out of pocket expense, it will be minimal. (Like around $5 minimal is what I have in mind...if anything :)

Algebra: We covered lessons #104 to #107
Homework: Try to work up through lesson #108.   But if you cannot get through that 5th lesson this week, we can catch it next week.

Rhetoric: Once again, great discussion.  I am continuing to encourage them to read the "unassigned" chapters and discuss with you.  If they are not coming to you....no rule says you cannot approach them :)  We did not get Jeopardy time in today :(
Homework: Read chapters 41 and 42.  WE WILL get to Jeopardy next week!! Know those cat questions.Final paper info to come next week.

Science:  We did science early today, which some were sad that they did not have lunch to study through :) We talked about how nice the weather had gotten and how important it is to stay the course, we are almost done!  We took our digestive system quiz, and introduced the neuron with an AWESOME bead experiment...ok, awesome was subjective.  But here is a great site where they can make their own model of a neuron! http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/chmodel.html
Homework: Prepare for quiz on eye.  Prepare for dissection week by helping mom clean out the fridge at home (Just kidding!)  Review ALL body systems! Final test week 15-more to come.

Geography: What an awesome presentation today!!! Jordan's grandmother came in with a presentation on Israel.  Personally, I could have listened for another hour!  Truly an anointed time!  Thank you for coming :) We also took our quiz on Australia.
Homework: Continue to REVIEW the whole world.  Study Oceania.  If there is ever any confusion, consult the guide.  Test for this will be next week. Also next week...MASSIVE GEOGRAPHY TERM TEST!

Literature: I do not know why these kids insist on downing their papers.  They are a group of such talented writers! Please let your child know today how great of a writer they are :)  Much to their dismay, we read our papers today.
Homework: Read Bronze Bow.  Think upon, what drew people to Jesus then?  What drew people to Jesus now?

Latin: We reviewed all the declension endings.  We introduced new vocabulary.  Well.....and we petted kittens.  Mr. Sean was nice enough to bring up our week old kittens, which everyone seemed to be in love with.  (YES you can have one in a few weeks if you wish!)
Homework: Workbook pages up to page.  Decline 3 of the new vocabulary words!  Work on memorzing those declensions endings.
