The original main use of lip gloss will be discussed, to treat dull and chapped lips along with cracking and peeling. The main ingredients of petrolatum, oils, polybutene, color additives, fragrance, vitamins, and preservatives were each examined for their chemistry and use in the product. The oils most commonly used, such as olive oil, coconut oil and cocoa butter were discussed as moisturizers. The use of foundations to create even skin tone and cover flaws, to improve coverage and increase cosmetic skin life was discussed. The different bases which are used were listed and each will be discussed in the next class.

I assigned Sam exercises 1-40 on page 364. The questions asked her to do the following: Put numbers in different matrices to organize their data, add matrices, multiply matrices by a scalar, subtract matrices, and solve systems of equations from matrices. She understood the material, and asked questions when necessary. Her homework is to complete the 6 exercises on evaluating functions.

Sam and I finally finished reading and annotating the novel. We discussed plot, characters and themes. Sam began the take-home final assessment of the novel. It involves some objective and short answer questions.

Starting with a brief discussion of some of the uses for lipstick, we then began a discussion of the ingredients which are found in lipstick. The chemistry of beeswax was discussed, composed of fatty acids and long chain alcohols. The structure of long chain alcohols was sketched and explained, as well as fatty acids. The melting point and use as a barrier was discussed, and the superiority to petroleum jelly noted. Oils were discussed for their use in lipstick as a moisturizer, specifically castor oil. Its chemical make-up was also discussed as a lipid. Iron oxides used as a pigment, its formula, and titanium dioxides used as a thickener and sunscreen was listed.The different preservatives which can be found In lipsticks, such as propylparaben was mentioned as a estrogen mimic.

Today Sam and I watched a video "Viaja mas" audio Spanish/ subtitle English(warm up activity). We spoke about the video and the importance of “cultural immersion” and “global education”. We reviewed examples about using possessive adjectives: Es tu Chaqueta? No, no es mi chaqueta. Es tu sueter? Si, si es tu sueter. Sam wrote some questions and answers about clothing using recycled vocabulary ( blusa, pantalones, zapatos, falda, camiseta, calcetines, vestido and jeans).

The cosmetic uses for primers to reduce pore size, prolong makeup use, and allow for smooth application of makeup was first discussed. The chemicals used in primers and their primary incorporation were listed. These included titanium dioxide, salicylic acid, vitamins A,C.,and E along with their use as moisturizers, oil absorbing and fragrance.

A matrix is an ordering of numbers into rows and columns. The number of rows is M, and columns is N. We say a matrix is M x N to indicate its size.
A matrix can be multiplied by a number (called a scalar) by simply multiplying each element in the matrix by the scalar.
If matrices are the same size, they can be added together simply by adding corresponding elements.
Sam worked a few exercises, but expressed that her brain felt foggy.

Sam continued working on her assigned short answer review for her upcoming Lord of the Flies quiz.

Today Sam completed her reading in class. She then worked on the assigned questions related to her reading and was assigned the rest of the questions from the study guide for next class.

Today Sam and I spoke about Expressing Possession. Possessive adjectives tell you who owns something or describe a relationship between people or things. In Spanish, possessive adjectives agree in number with the nouns they describe. Example: Sam would say: He is my uncle.SINGULAR (Es mi tio)/ They are my grandparents PLURAL (Son mis abuelos.) The adjectives nuestro/vuestro must also agree in gender with the nouns they describe. NUESTRO AbuelO - Nuestra AbuelA(SINGULAR) - NuestrOS AbuelOS- NuestrAS AbuelAS(Plural). Also if you need to emphasize, substitute the adjective with: DE+pronoun or the person's name. This also helps to clarify the meaning of SU and SUS (singular/plural). Sam was able to practice several examples using her relatives.
