Bobby did not bring his math textbook to school this morning but we used this time to go over the International System of measurement or the SI. This is a variation of the metric system which is used predominately in most developed countries except the Untied States. Many of the scale drawings that we are reviewing including the corresponding proportions use metric conversions.

Bobby learned about the use of adverbs on Khan Academy website, in relation to their modification of adjectives and verbs. We saw examples on the "chalkboard" and interactive video.

Bobby completed a math exercise that Teresa assigned.

Bobby typed up his paragraph comparing and contrasting cars. Afterwards, I edited and left on his desk to continue in his next class.

We played current events Jeopardy.

This afternoon Bobby and I focused on the outline for his next digital presentation on arachnid physiology etc. We also took advantage of the time to organize his science binder and to organize the loose papers in his room. Bobby did not bring his daily planner to school today which hampered his ability to record his homework assignments.

Bobby and I continued our study of ancient Greece as well as the conflict between Sparta and Athens. We took a close look at how the two different societies compared with each other and the circumstances surrounding the siege of Athens. We will be having a chapter quiz next week on this material. Homework is to read pages 298-303 and complete #'s 1-5.

Bobby will place the remaining logos for the student website. Once all logos are placed Bobby will create the remaining site descriptions. With the remaining time in the class Bobby will start linking the logos to the individual student home pages.

The session began with vocabulary building. Bobby was asked to read various sets of words and identify the synonym pairs in each set. Unfamiliar words were discussed to ensure comprehension. Time was spent editing the car essay that Bobby wrote. After he read a short selection about stormy weather he was asked to visualize and discuss it. Bobby also spent some time working on a 3-D puzzle.

This afternoon Bobby and I reviewed the problems on page 336 and practiced identifying corresponding shapes and then setting up the appropriate proportion. We finished problems 23-24 with little difficulty. Homework is to complete #'s 7-15 and 1-4 on pages 336 and 337.
