Second Semester, Week 13

"The achievement of your goal is assured the moment you commit yourself to it."  Mack Douglas

Can you believe it...next week is our last week of the semester apart from Mock Trial?  WOW!  Where did the year go?
Math:
Algebra ½ Students: We covered Lessons 113 - 116 today. Don't forget to complete the exercises and stay on top of your weekly tests.  We won't get to finish the book together, but I'm sure you'll do fine with the last few lessons. 



Logic:
Great job on the quiz from last week.  I'm torn with trying to do a final given that we've done so many quizzes trying to make sure you understood the last few lessons.  Several have asked if we could get together over the next few weeks to complete the book.  I'm game if you are.  Let's chat about it after Mock Trial.  In the mean time, use the time to work on Mock Trial.


Literature:
I have the majority of your final drafts for your short stories and will try to have them bound hopefully by Mock Trial on the 25th.  No homework here either (more MT time???).


Discovering Atomos
We discussed Lessons 4 in class today as well as distributed a little song to help you memorize the Periodic Table.  You are to complete Lessons 5 - 6 as well as all the "At Home" exercises. We agreed that we'd discuss Lessons 5 - 6 and I'd send home the final to be taken at home.  You can return them the week of Mock Trial.


Mock Trial:
WOW!!!!  What an amazing turn around!  You guys rock!  Now we just have to fine tune, memorize our parts and practice speaking up and flowing.  Take the critiques to heart from the Upper Challenge Students.  We'll see how it goes next week and decide how many practices we'll need next week.

Latin:
See Mrs. Richardson's separate email regarding your assignments.

Enjoy the week and weekend.  


Blessings and Love,
