One more Monday down. God only knows how many are left! Today we solved some more algebraic problems. This time we had to write the problem first and then solve it. We also read each other's rough drafts and made some, hopefully, helpful comments. We started talking about weather. I certainly had some real life current examples to show the students today! (For example, do you know what happens when warm wet air from the south hits cold air from the north? If not, you should by the time Wednesday is over.) We also took a crack at translating a Shakespeare speech into modern language. Mix that up with a geography review and a map retake (I really thought more people would take advantage of this) and we've got a day!

Konnichi wa! Thanks for visiting! Today we continued to talk about how God wants us to treat this planet of ours. We got a special visit from Reverend Boggs, (yea! free folders), figured out that two wrongs may not make a right, but two negatives multiplied together do make a positive! We took our science test after learning more about cultures in Africa. After the science test, the students were doing a great job studying so we just turned on a little more of the Julius Caesar movie. Brando back in the day. (Did you know he is in Guys and Dolls, too? Check it out if you like musicals.)

Today we took another crack at taking a test on the lab computers. It was neat because the students got instant feedback on the questions they got wrong and what the right answers should have been. I am still trying to work out a few things, but it has been an interesting experiment. We also talked briefly about writing a business letter. We included format and what to say. We also looked at ratio problems again. This time the total was missing. We looked at Shakespearean word order as well. Top that off with local and global winds and I'd say we had a full day.
