Hello all...
We are one-third of the way into this semester! You all are learning so many facts about our great country and our incredibly created bodies! Keep up the good work! :D Study a little each day for a fun review game on weeks 1-4 next week. We all love the sound of those Memory Marbles clicking in the pitcher!
The presentations were strong this week. I am looking forward to the "historical" moments shared by the rest of the class. Keep in mind...History is Happening...right now! Look around you and see what is going on today that will be considered history tomorrow!
Remember that October 4 is Pajama Day! I can't wait to wear my favorite pair...
Hope you all have a blessed week!

Week 3
Hello everyone,
What a blessing you are to me...all nine of you (and the moms and grandmoms)! I am so happy to be able to spend a part of each Tuesday with you.
I was so impressed with all nine presentations over the last two weeks. Sometimes, it can be a daunting (look it up) task to stand and speak in front of people you do not know, but you all rose to the challenge with ease. I am looking forward to the next two weeks. The presentations should have a History focus with our skill focus being volume and articulation. As you practice your presentations at home, ask your audience if they could hear and understand you that is volume and articulation.
Since we did not get to art this week, practice drawing something upside down. Bring in your drawings because I would love to see them. Also, you may hear the clincking sound of marbles going into the Pitcher!
Thank you for the marbles for our Master Marble Pitcher...it is really filling up fast! It seems that we do not have any master students in our class with food allergies or sensitivities, but we do want to mindful not to "sugar" them up. Mostly, because they are sweet enough!
Thank you to Mary Blake and her family for the delicious cookies and juice, and especially for letting us be a part of your birthday! Also, a special thanks to Anna and her dad for those really cool keychains that they bought us in Africa. How cool is that... that Mr. Lewis thought of us while he was half-way around the world!
Study all three weeks, and I will be introducing Week 4 material next week. If you have any questions or need me for any reason, please be in touch...
Blessings,
Mrs. Black

Better Late than Never?
Hello all...
I am a little late with my blog this week, and I apologize for that! It has been a terrific couple of weeks with you. And, I am having such a good time.
The Masters that presented this week did a wonderful job of sharing some of their favorite things. It was interesting to learn about your favorite books, pets, and, even, siblings! I look forward to hearing from Rebekah, Macy, Joseph, and Cara. Remember that expression is our presentation skill focus for these weeks. Think about how you can use your voice or your gestures to express yourself, as you share some favorites with the class.
Keep working on your memory work for Week 2. We will start Week 3 on Tuesday. As the weeks to by, remember to review each week as you along. Do a little each day of new and review!
Hope you all have a great weekend.
See ya Tuesday...

What an incredible first day!
It may have been stormy outside, but it was lot of fun on the inside! It was just wonderful to see everyone today. For a new class, you all did a great job getting along and working together. I was especially impressed with the presentations. Each one of the students brought their own personality to the front of the class with lots of enthusiasm.
I attempted to copy and paste the "Fingerprint Detective" activity and was not successful. I will bring copies for you all next week. I will, also, bring copies of the Latin pronunciation sheets. There may be a way to attach a file that I have not learned yet. Please bear with me as I move through this technical learning curve.
Remember to study Week 1 memory work...I will introduce Week 2 next week. Check out the C3 Community on the CC website for some cool ways to review and memorize the facts.
If you need me, I'm here for you! Have a great week...
Blessings,
