Week 8

Another fantastic week, it finally feels like we are getting back into the swing of things!

Brandon has volunteered snack for next week. Also, a mask theme was presented to try out for next week as well :)

Algebra: I handed quizzes back, excellent job.  On a letter scale they averaged about a B! I was very proud of this.  I introduced 3 lessons with the reminder of why we are slowing down a bit.  It doesn't mean they take a day off.  It means they can use the time to polish the skills that are weak.
Homework: Lessons 88 through 90

Rhetoric:  Decent discussion.  I mentioned for them not to treat this as a check in the box.  To read their chapters and ponder what they have read so they are better prepared for discussion.
Homework: Read chapters 27 - 29 Know your catechism questions.

Literature: Excellent papers on Amos Fortune!
Homework: Read Secret Garden  START RIGHT NOW!!!

Science: We took our heart quizzes and introduced skin.  We did two neat science experiments :)
Homework: Be ready for test on ear.  Draw and label skin in notebook.

Geography: We went over some Geography Terms in class, and reviewed us through South America.
Homework: Draw Africa each day.  Review a different section each day.  Geography needs to be daily at this point.  You cannot wait until the last 2 weeks to review and study for the big test.  It needs to start now :)

Latin: We reviewed the Purple notebook again, then we parsed, parsed, and parsed some more.
Homework: Study vocabulary for quiz next week.  Complete 3 nouns and 3 verbs worksheet and decline/conjugate.  Workbook pages 105-112.
