Week 2 Second Semester

"There isn't a person anywhere who isn't capable of doing more than he thinks he can."  Henry Ford

It was great seeing everyone today.  Given the circumstances, it was just what I needed.  Thanks for the love and support during this difficult time.



Math:
Algebra ½ Students: We covered Lessons 69 - 72 today. Don't forget to stay on top of your weekly tests.




Logic:
The Final Exams were returned today.  Parents, please look over them with your child and discuss them.  The final outcome/grade is up to you.  I believe tests show us two things:  1 - how much we've learned and 2 - where our weaknesses are so that we can overcome them.   In the meantime...we covered Lessons 3 - 5 today and did many of the exercises in class.  Complete the Exercises for these three lessons and note any questions or problems you may have.

Literature:
The "short stories" are going well.  Remember, we're reading in part to expose you to "the classic short story" and to give you ideas, themes, and concepts you can also incorporate in your own short story.  Keep that in mind as you read.  This week read Little Girls Wiser Than Men by Tolstoy and finalize your idea for your short story.  See the Guide for details.

Defeating Darwinism
What an amazing discussion today on the first chapter.  Read and outline Chapter 2.  Don't forget to take the type of notes that will help you to ace the final exam at the end including terms, especially those in italics.

Mock Trial:
We discussed a few more details of the trial and some of the things they should look for as they read the notebook.  Study the Rules of Competition and make notes of any questions or concerns.



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


Enjoy the week and weekend.  With all that's going on, I may not be available for questions and such. Thanks again for your love and prayers.

Blessings and Love,
Ms. Sharon
