Week 10 Updates and Homework

"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together." Vincent Van Gogh


Remember, the Guide outlines all of the assignments, what follows is an update/review of what took place in class and gives a quick glance into the upcoming assignments.


Math:
Algebra ½ Students: We covered Lessons 37 - 40 today.  Although we moved through it rather quickly, everyone seemed to grasp the information so again, keep up the great work.

Logic:
We had our test today.  By faith we'll see great improvements from the last one.  We discussed Lessons 24 - 26.  Complete Exercises 22 - 25.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Literature:
Most agree that Where the Red Fern Grows was one of the most intriguing books we've read thus far. This week's paper will discuss in detail something you're willing to work to achieve or acquire for 2 years.  Don't forget to check the Guide for the specific questions you're to answer within the paper.  As always, it should be a minimum of 500 words and follow the checklist.


History of Science:
The great Einstein was the last scientist we'll research.  This week you are to prepare a shoe box containing items that will remind us of the accomplishments of the scientists we've discussed this semester.  You are also to begin your search for your Science Fair Project and write out the preliminary question you want to answer or prove.  Pages 57 of the Guide has great questions to help you get started.  Don't forget the Deliverables Sheet that was given out today.  On the back are a number of great websites that can help you get started and offer some ideas as to projects you may want to tackle.



Current Events:
Our experiment with the smaller teams seemed to work out very well.  So we will keep the same teams with the exception of my moving Robert to Jacob's team and Holland to Tode's team.  This week you are to research political campaign reform both pros and cons.  Again, I will draw names to determine which teams debate against one another and which team is on the pro or con side so don't forget to research both sides of the issue. 

Latin:
Make sure you're prepared and have complete Lesson 14.  I will pick up with Lesson 15 and 16 next week.  Mrs. Richardson is going to observe the class next week and give input and suggestions.


Enjoy the week and weekend and don't hesitate to call, text or email me if you need me.

Blessings and Love,
Ms. Sharon
