This morning Morgan worked on her yearbook page writing to capture her thoughts on her time at Saint Simons Christian School. She has attended the school since preschool and is writing a reflection on all she will be leaving with upon her eighth-grade graduation. We discussed various memories to include that stand out and aren’t just routine events. We examined how to craft the short essay chronologically and ways to include the key personnel she wanted recognize. Morgan did a great job with her piece!
Morgan read her assigned Bible reading (p136) in her textbook, Walking in Truth -Christianity in Action.
We discussed the central idea of being free from a legalistic perspective and abiding in the Biblical commands of Christ.

I admire the way Morgan takes inititative to complete all her work and makes the most of her instructional time to stay on top of everything. She is a very responsible.
Continue review chapter 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5 - Morgan and I went through the concepts of chapter 9. Ordered pairs, domain, range, linear equations, and graphing. Morgan did very well on the review, and was able to answer all the questions. She makes silly mistakes on her signs and forgets to multiply the number outside the parentheses. She feels confident about the topics covered.

Her reading fluency has improved with frequent readings. She is reading more multisyllsbic words correctly. She takes time to sound out each syllable of unknown words.
We started reviewing for a test on section 9–5 Functions by practicing the vertical line test and mapping domains to ranges to determine whether the equation is a function. Then we reviewed Chapter 13 Quadratics by finding the axis of symmetry, vertex, and a table of values in order to graph a quadratic function.
This morning Morgan was put to the test with an adjective review quiz! She responded to questions to provide proper adjectives and the noun being modified, identifying the predicate adjective and noun modified, choosing the correct form of comparative/superlative adjectives, and marking all limiting and descriptive adjectives within a sentence. Morgan scored a 92% on her assessment. Next, Morgan finished writing about the mysterious item received at school. She believes the item could be used as the base for a slingshot. She completed a final draft, writing so neatly with proper grammar and punctuation.
