Mercer and I worked together on several problems dealing with density.

We focused on comprehension of the problem being posed. We were careful to make sure that Mercer’s calculations were correct.

Today we practiced the days of the week with a video of Rockalingua and we played an interactive game referring to what we learned.

So, they're known to England as The Falkland Islands and to Argentina as the Islas Malvinas and they've been a topic of geographic argument and war between England and Argentina for years! It's kind of crazy! Why are two nations arguing over islands in the South Atlantic located about 300 miles east of Argentina about 752 miles from the northern tip of Antarctica? Today the Falklands are a British overseas territory. Controversy exists over the Falklands' "discovery" and colonization by Europeans. Britain asserted its rule in 1833, but Argentina maintains its claim to the islands. In April 1982, Argentine military forces invaded the islands, but in two months, England won the "Falklands War." Today almost all Falklanders favor the archipelago remaining a UK overseas territory. Its sovereignty status is part of an ongoing dispute between Argentina and the UK. The population of nearly 3,500 is mostly of British descent. Other ethnicities include French, Gibraltarian, and Scandinavian. The official language is English and since 1983, Falkland Islanders are British citizens. The islands lie on the boundary of the subantarctic oceanic and tundra climate zones. Oil exploration, licensed by the Falkland Islands Government, remains controversial as a result of maritime disputes with Argentina. To this day, people from Argentina refer to the islands as "The Malvinas."

Go over the answers to Quiz 1. Add finishing touches to project 1 and hang it up with the others. Work on Lesson 2 project. Complete skeleton drawing on white paper. Once finished measure the negative spaces to be sure that your proportions are correct. Next paint in the negative spaces with black ink.

Mercer continued exercises from the 6th grade math Envision textbook, Integers. He also played two games of Chess.

Today's lesson continued the focus on the earliest humans. Mercer reviewed the unit material and completed questions about post neolithic society civilizations. Mercer spent the remainder of the class period learning fun facts about early cultures.

Today's session focused on social skills. Mercer reviewed material about following directions and why it is necessary for a healthy society. Mercer participated in discussing why it is necessary to follow directions even if he considers them "stupid". Mercer spent the remainder of the class watching real-life lore videos about how societies can function with rules.
