Yogic pranayama (breathwork) was guided and then a deep meditation was facilitated using quartz bowls and a Siberian drum to enhance the entrain the brain waves to the appropriate frequencies required for deeper states of meditation.
The lesson consisted of a review of previous material. We went over the first part of the homework assignment and it was related to the prior lessons. Questions were answered. The rest of the homework must be completed by next week.
Today we worked on vocabulary, grammar, conversation and cultural point. We practiced conversation to use the grammar in context. We also watched and discussed some cultural videos in class. We also read and discussed about Latinos in the USA. For homework, she will practice on quizlet and duolingo this weekend.

Sam did a great job today! She was very focussed in class!
An in-depth explanation of classical mechanics or the familiar Newtonian Physics typically taught first in schools was given. Some common mathematical definitions and formalisms were reviewed. The differences between classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, special relativity and general relativity was then explained and implications of each subfield of physics in relation to the previous lessons was described.
We started going through the first few sections in Chapter 2. Much of the material was easy for Sam and was just basic review. We spent the majority of the remaining lesson reviewing slope formulas and practicing different problems.
Sam did some silent reading and chose two discussion questions to answer. She wrote her answers in a paragraph, using textual evidence when possible.

Today she was very focussed in class! I am so proud of her!
I gave Samantha her test so she could continue to work on it. She worked the entire session and almost finished. The test consisted of finding vertices and axes of parabolas, factoring and solving quadratic functions and equations, and working with complex numbers. There was no assignment.

Samantha confessed to actually enjoying parts of the test.
Sam arrived to class quite late today. As a result, we were only able to review her homework and make a few corrections to her understanding of the Federalist Papers. We are having a test on Monday on ch. 2 and part of ch. 3 when we next have a scheduled class.
