Week 8

More than half way through!! Wow! I have really come to just adore our class.  I cannot believe how time is flying.

PJ Day, lots of fun!

Snack Ms. Sharon cake...epic!  Snack next week is FIELDS.

CONGRATS KATYE!!!!!! She was baptized over this last weekend!!

Alright, Ms. Bonnie did have a few lectures yesterday.  I did not want anyone to walk away discouraged, but encouraged to do their best.  I know a lot of times we travel and life comes up.  But school does need to be done.  If they don't read the book, it is hard for them to participate in discussion.  If they only take 15 minutes a day to study for a big test, that is all they are going to get out of it.  I told them the problem is......I have seen their potential and what they can do and are capable of :)  So I want to encourage them to run the race of this semester, and do their best!

Math: We reviewed lessons 32 through 35.
Homework: Lessons 32 through 35

Latin: I returned Latin tests back....AWESOME JOB!!  Shout outs go to Caleb and Matthew with perfect scores including the bonus!! We delved deeper into 3rd declension and talked about gender rules.  We practiced parsing a sentence.
Homework: See guide

Lost Tools: We reviewed sorting an ANI and putting it into an outline again.  use the outline on page 18 of the student workbook.  Joey received an early Christmas present as we used his ANI chart to sort :) This was point of lecture number 1 on getting the books read.
Homework: See PDF guide

Rhetoric: GREAT Discussion!! These guys are really asking some awesome questions.  I cannot wait to see them in debate next year. Question of the week:Why would someone choose to believe something so radical as coming from primordial ooze vs. being created?
Homework: See guide.

Science:  Loved the reports and we had 2 examples! One Daddy Long Legs whose legs didn't survive the backpack :) Then the ....drum roll please....TARANTULA!  Yes, Sam's sister has a pet spider and I cannot believe I am saying this....it was kind of cute.
Homework: See guide

Geography:  This would be home of lecture #2.  While tests were not bad....I have seen what these boys can do :)  So please  BE ENCOURAGED  not discouraged.  Shout out here goes to Andrew who only needed to label 10 features to nab all the feature points, but chose to review USA and Canada and labeled 131 features!!
