Material to be covered includes the conic sections and their applications. We will study the circle, parabola, ellipse and hyperbola in terms of their definitions as conic sections.
Jackson started researching his ecosystem project today. We discussed the role of biodiversity. He began looking at different plants and animals to include.
Today I introduced an ecosystem project that is due on Friday. Jackson must create his own ecosystem. He should include 5 plants and 5 animals with descriptions. He should also consider biodiversity, climate, and conditions.
Reviewed Lesson Two of Unit Five: Jane Eyre, vocabulary words in context clues and then switched to a historical event during a similar time period: Assassination of Abe Lincoln as an in class writing assignment.

Worked with and got approved to assign Jackson an in-class assignment due to his leaving early. Was in attendance with him during his study hall period to complete the assignment.
Final Class, Final Assignment (TV Sportscast) Finally Complete?
Lesson Outline
NO! Final Assignment (TV Sportscast) on the Final Class, Finally Complete? No...and NO also represents Jackson presence for Two Sessions today: No Show!
Incomplete is the Grade where is was pushing an A. In broadcasting the News Starts @ 6pm...not 6:25pm because you're running a little behind today. Ballgames start on time and if you miss the team bus or BP, you'll get fined and maybe lose your position in the starting line up.
Failure has consequences and Jackson has failed to make deadline on this last assignment for two weeks. The crazy thing is....Jackson has some much talent, absorb lessons quickly and here is the bottom line: He did it to himself.

Lesson Comments
You'll notice the extra 45 minutes (135 for today) as Jordy asked me if I could stay through his next session which was study hall. I did as we were both hoping he would show up & turn something in. I know for a fact the TV Sportscast is nearly done. Jackson was supposed to email it to me Monday afternoon--nothing. Tuesday I texted him to email me the finished package. No reply. Wednesday I text him "???" regarding the assignment, no response. All those blown deadlines had nothing to with traffic delays on the draw bridge at Donald Ross. Everyone else made it school.
