Summer Blessings!

I just wanted to wish everyone a very HAPPY EASTER!! May the joy of this season fill and sustain all year long.  Our Lord has Risen!

Just a few notes:

• We did make it through the whole Algebra book!  If anyone needs some help over the summer, please feel free to call or email me :)
• My email has been funny, an alternate email for me is bonniejoym@yahoo.com
• I will be snail mailing back tests and some other things.  Give me about 2 to 3 weeks. (We have a big yard sale at the church May 1st and that will be consuming my time next week :) 

That is it!  I wish to thank everyone for a wonderful and successful year of Algebra and Challenge A.  I will miss everyone tremendously and will pray often for all my CC families.

MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU!

Week 14

Great job today guys!!  Thank you Jordan for snack :)  Next week, we will not worry about having an official snack.  If your child needs something mid-morning, please send it with them.

PARTY!!! WOO HOO!!!!  Next week, we will stay on campus for lunch time socializing, then at 1pm we will head over to CiCi's for lunch.  At 2pm we will go bowl two games at Gateway.  If time permits, we may find ourselves stopping by donuts or ice cream on the way back.  We will be back no later then 4pm.  They will only need money for CiCi's.  As of right now then plan is for me to drive our class.  Here it is, if they have a friend that would like to come, or family (say a sibling:)...THEY ARE WELCOME!  They would need money for CiCi's and $5 for bowling, includes shoe rental.  I would just need to know so I can update the bowling alley and make arrangements for transportation.  Please contact me with any questions.

Algebra: We reviewed lessons 113 - 116.  I also talked about using the rest of April and early May to review some concepts that may have been weak.  Now is the season you may wish to start shopping for a graphing calculator.
Homework: Lessons 113 - 116

Rhetoric: Our final Cat Question Jeopardy with plenty of candy to go around :)
Homework: Finish final apologetics paper, use the guidelines handed out in class last week.  To be turned in week 15.

Geography:  We drew....the world from scratch!
Homework: STUDY< STUDY< STUDY....final next week.

Science: Today was the big day and they did awesome!!! I was so proud of how well they listened and how well they followed instructions!! I was just so proud of how everyone gave it their best effort!!! WAY TO GO GUYS!!! (SEE PICS BELOW)
Homework: Study for body part final!!! If your mom says you can know which one...just have her email me and I will let you know :)

Latin: We parsed, parsed, and then parsed some more :)

For your enjoyment :)

Week 13

Wow!  We had a lot to say this week, not all of it on topic LOL  I think we all have a bit of Spring Fever.  Never the less, God blessed our class to get accomplished what needed to be done.

Thank you Hannah for snack this week.  Jordan has volunteered next week.

Next week, please bring a smock or tee-shirt (if you would like) for dissection.  Three children will be dissecting a pig and the other three will be dissecting a shark.  Ms. Susan will be leading this after the lunch hour.  Please pray for nice weather so we can do this outside.

Festivities are being planned for Week 15.  Please look for a separate email coming concerning plans.

With all these final tests, remember goals are accomplished through small things done daily.

Algebra: We are now working up to lesson 112.  We should get through our book by the end of week 15! YEAH!

Rhetoric: We discussed our last 2 chapters and played a fun round of Jeopardy.  They are getting really good at this.  I can tell they are working hard.I handed out sheets concerning their final Apologetics paper. If you have any questions, please contact me :)
Homework: Start on your paper NOW!  Study those Cat questions.

Literature: OK, today they received the lecture.  Only one student had read The Bronze Bow completely and we could not have a complete discussion on this novel.  Some had mentioned that mom was OK with this (which is fine) I just need to hear it from you in the form of a quick email or call, or even catch me in the hall.
Homework: Write Bronze Bow Paper.  The suggestion of 100 words per paragraph has been removed since they are currently working on three papers!  But, they were told I will not accept this  paper without the check sheet with it.  Some were scared they might forget it or lose it....I replied that that was the point.  Responsibility can be scary.  They can also begin planning their final Literature paper.  They are to choose their favorite book from this semester and tell me what happens next.

Science: We took our quiz on the eye and talked about preparations for next week.
Homework: Study for Neuron test.  Come prepared for dissection.  (Smock/tee if needed) Begin study for final Science.

Geography: We took our Oceania quiz and the enormous Geography Terms quiz.  This quiz was so enormous.......not one finished.  So I am going to PDF this quiz and send in a separate email.  If you would like your student to retake this in a calmer atmosphere at home, you are welcome to print it off and give it to them.:)
Homework: Look over Geography Terms up to woods. STUDY FOR FINAL WORLD TEST WEEK 15!!

Latin: We worked on Conjugation Endings and vocabulary.
Homework: Workbook pages 151- 160, Work on memorizing endings.
