Elle came up with a scenario for improvisation that involved an annoying student and a teacher that was fed up. She then had a friend join in for the end of the class and they did an improvisation based on teenagers at a party doing unsavory things and trying to convince another teen to do it with them.

In this session, Elle worked on the whiteboard. She worked with linear equations using slope, slope intercept and point slope formulas. Elle was given two points and determined her linear function then checked her work using her graphing calculator and the function value app.

Elle conducted more research on the size of the sneaker industry in the US and globally. She did not want to study for Monday's exam.

In this session, Elle continued to determine linear functions using point slope form. She then graphed the function by hand and then with the graphing calculator to check her work. With the value function, she checked ordered pairs.

Elle focused on determining linear functions using the point slope form. This involved using slope formula and point substitution. The final form was written in slope intercept form.

Elle looked at a diagram of the moon's phases. I demonstrated why we always see the same side of the moon. I also explained that the phase of the moon we see from Earth depends on how much of that side is lit. She ended the session watching a Bill Nye Clip on the phases of the moon.

Elle found a website that showcases happy news called "Sunny Skyz." It focuses on national news stories about everyday people who do good things for other people. We also focused on other current events such as the gradual movement of the magnetic North Pole, the history of U.S/. Saudi Arabian relations and the mysterious mud of an uninhabited South Pacific island formed by a volcano in 2014.

Elle completed a spelling quiz. In the "Red Queen," Elle reread portions to locate information. She skimmed the text or read quickly to answer vocabulary and comprehension questions.

We danced to warm-up which was Elle’s fun idea. We did barre exercises with upbeat music to get some energy and warm-up. We brought the energy to a calm with a relaxing yoga class. We ended with yoga breathing and meditation.

Elle edited the punctuation in sentences. She added commas when addresses and dates were in sentences. She read a short news article on Newslea.com. She created a graphic organizer to illustrate concepts and relationships between concepts in the text.
