Garba- Indian folk dance Bollywood style. Reviewed the dance, what we had learned on Tuesday. Added new steps and continued practicing. Morgan truly enjoyed the dance class. She was hoping more people would join us but unfortunately, we made the announcement too late. I hope Morgan had a good experience with learning a new style of dance.

Morgan was absent.

We began our session with day 3 of the week 24 vocabulary packet. We discussed the words for this study, which are: universal, contemptuous, absurd, abhorrent, and superstition. Morgan read a passage that utilized all of these words. After reading, she shared what she felt was the main idea of the passage. She then matched the definitions and words as well as completed fill-in-the-blank sentences examining the words in context. We worked to “check” her work by inserting the definition into the sentence to help deepen understanding and confirm the correct word was chosen. We also discussed the idiom of “dyed-in-the-wool” which means set in one’s ways. We completed the same activity for the day 4 set of words which are: vulnerable, entreaty, tradition, originate, and inviolable. The idiom for this lesson is: “blue chip” which means a highly valuable asset or stock. Next, we read through notes on “good” vs. “well” and determining adjective or adverb. Morgan completed a practice activity in which she identified the correct word of two choices in 15 sentences. She did a great job with only one error. Finally, we were able to read a few pages of chapter 11 in our novel, The Hiding Place.

We completed the Chapter 9 review. Then we discussed the Big Bang theory, evolution, and replication. We reviewed Chapter 9 by practicing tests on the Quizlet.

Religion – We learned all about St. Paul. He was a Jew and a Roman citizen. He studied under a famous rabbi and became an expert in the law. He worked with Jewish authorities and persecuted people that confessed Jesus Christ of Nazareth was the Messiah until he encountered the risen Christ on the road to Damascus and was converted to Christianity himself. Though he was not a disciple of Jesus, he is one of the greatest writers and teachers of God’s Word in the history of Christianity.

10-5 Writing Slope-Intercept Equations of Lines and 10-6 Parallel and Perpendicular Lines – We learned to write a linear equation in slope-intercept form given the slope of a line and the coordinates of a point on the line. Then we practiced writing a linear equation in slope-intercept form given the coordinates of two points on a line. Next we practiced writing an equation of a line that passes through a given point and is parallel or perpendicular to the graph of a given equation.

We worked on playing the chord progression to Sweet Home Alabama. We also worked on hammer and pull of technique.
