Baylie’s teacher left directions for us to work on a Blookit exercise.

Today we looked a little closer at the strategies involved with the blookit game. This was a great opportunity to engage in entertaining critical thinking. Just one of the items that we discussed is the math involved in the game and how higher levels of the game will be more easily overcome by game pieces that do damage in the form of a percentage as opposed to a static number.

We continued working on forming and moving barre chords. We also worked on playing the lead intro to I'm Yours while simultaneously playing the rhythm part. We began working on a technique called combined picking, where the melody part is plucked with the back 3 fingers while the thumb and forefinger hold the pick and strum as usual.

We continued working on forming and moving barre chords and playing the minor and major scales outlined by the chord shapes.

Baylie and I watched a series of videos assigned by her teacher on the Doppler effect. Baylie was then charged with writing a short piece about the Doppler effect.

Baylie came up with a great example of the Doppler effect involving a swan.

We then worked on the Section 11.2 review from her textbook.

Baylie and I spent the lion's share of today's class reading.

She is in a new section. We took turns reading. I worked hard to relate the material of the section to Baylie's real world experiences.

We also watched an animation.

Baylie refreshed her information for the quiz by quickly answering some review questions.

I then asked her some additional review questions. Once I felt she was ready, she took her quiz.

I reminder her to go back over the quiz before sbumitting.

We then worked on an extra credit assignment. It was an engaging assignment.

Baylie read, analyzed, and discussed the remainder of the novel The Hiding Place.

Baylie started by working a kahoot review.

She was able to answer each of the questions quickly. She then worked on a worksheet provided by the teacher.

Upon completion of the worksheet, she attempted a different format of Kahoot.

The session began with a map geography quiz. Baylie was asked to answer a series of geography questions on the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. She answered all of the questions correctly. Next she had a brief review of the impact of mission work and missionaries in Asia. Baylie also discussed the Renaissance and how it changed the world during that time period. She ended the review session playing a Kahoot game about the Crusades. Baylie should do very well on her World History exam. She is an excellent student!
