Second Semester, Week 1

"Whether you think you can or whether you think you can't, your right."  Henry Ford

We're back!!  It was really great to see everyone and get back into the swing of things.  I know we all felt as if we could use just ONE MORE WEEK! 

Keep in mind that if we get wintry, messy weather that interferes with our Tuesdays, we'll consider coming to my house that same week so we can make up the days and not have to extend our school year if that works for everyone.  They are predicting precipitation off and on all week and early next week so we'll keep you posted.  Just know that if Guilford County or Forsyth County Schools are closed or delayed we will be as well.  We have students in our upper Challenges that drive and we wouldn't want to chance their safety. 


Math:
Algebra ½ Students: We covered Lessons 65 - 68 today.  




Logic:
I'll get the Final Exams checked asap for you.  In the meantime, the exercises for Lessons 1 and 2 of the Intermediate book are to be completed.

Literature:
This semester we're working on "short stories".  The end goal is to have you actually write your own short story based upon some of the works we'll cover in class.  This week you have to read The Cop and the Anthem by O Henry and write out a list of a least 5 ideas for your story.  See the Guide for details.

Defeating Darwinism
Read the first chapter and outline it.  Remember you are to take the type of notes that will help you to ace the final exam at the end.

Mock Trial:
We discussed the trial and some of the details.  Now it's up to you to scan through the book, notice the layout and contents.  Read through the Stipulated Facts and Evidence and we'll dissect it next week. As you read, also begin to think about what role you'd like to play.


Latin:
Mrs. Richardson did an amazing job with the Latin and sent out a separate email regarding your assignments.


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

Blessings and Love,
Ms. Sharon
