Hello again. We are trying something different in the calssroom. The assignments will no longer be posted on the baord. I am finding that too many students are suing this as a crutch to aavoid paying attention when the assingment is given. Then, if the person writing the assignemnts on the board misses something, these students are blaming the student writting the assingments instead of realizing that he or she should have been listening when the assignemnt was given. For now I plan to keep doing the blog, but please understand this is intended to be an aid for you to check on your student and to be involved in what is going on. This is not intended to allow your student to not pay attention when the assignment is given knowing that he or she can simply check the blog latter. Thanks.

This said, many students were doing just fine on their own and I don't think the assingment board was useful to them, so it should not be detrimental to them to have it gone.

Today we continued to discuss Galatians. We talked about how when we trust in God's grace to save us, we can't help but love others the way he loved us. In math we learned how to indirectly measure angles by using simialr triangles. We corrected our Geography study guides but the test won't be for some time yet. In English we discussed how prepositional phrases are more than just pretty phrases, they actually serve as adjectives and adverbs. Tomorrow we will have two worksheets to practice. The science test will be tomorrow. We are fairly far into Treasure Island. Today we listend to one chapter via audio book and assigned one. The second part of the battle is about to begin.
