Week 10

Well, the weather did hold out for us! We raised the blinds in our room to watch it snow...it was lovely!

It was a wonderful class yesterday. There were lots of discussion throughout the day, and it was focused on our lessons.

A few points to remember as you work this week:

• AFRICA drawing and labeling test next week.
• Geography Terms test on Weeks 9 and 10 only.
• Crispin should be completed and ANI charts done.
• SKELETAL drawing and labeling test next week.

A few items to LOOK forward to as we approach the end of the semester:

• I have opted to do a dissection, which we will do on the last day of class Week 15 instead of a end-of-the-year body systems test in Science. (I am thinking about a shark! 2-3 children per shark.)
• There will be a drawing and labeling test of the whole world on the last day of class Week 15.
• There will be an apologetics paper due on Week 15. You can choose any topic that we have discussed this year, or one of the students own choosing. I will elaborate more on this on Week 12 or 13.
• The Bronze Bow is the last book we will read, and it will be assigned to start during Week 13. We will walk through the process and learn new elements, but it looks like this is an essay that will be finished at home. I cannot see in the guide that I should collect it, so there is some freedom in finishing this paper.
• In the guide, it states to give a Latin final. I will give the students an open book review test on the main topics they have learned this year. Hopefully, we will have time to check it that final day and you can see what their strengths and weaknesses are.
• Nothing really to prepare for in Math.

Remember that April 29th will be our last day!

Have a great week! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!
Blessings,
