Lesson Comments
Erin Gleeson was notified Bella was not coming to class late morning =(
Erin Gleeson did participate in the fire drill =)
In today's class, we did an experiment where we used a cabbage-based indicator to test the pH of different substances we had on hand, including orange juice, baking soda, coca cola, and bleach. We discussed how pH plays a role in everyday chemistry and biology (specifically in the human body).
In today's class, Bella continued working on her in-class quiz covering the material we've learned about cell structure and function over the last week or two. Bella was able to ask questions when she was unsure of something and did very well answering the questions I had for her.
Judicial Branch of Government: Definition, Role & Power
Lesson Outline
The judicial branch is one of three branches of the federal government. The judicial branch includes criminal and civil courts and helps interpret the United States Constitution. The most important part of the judicial branch is the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's role is to interpret the Constitution and limit the powers of the other branches of government. The Supreme Court's power to do this is its power of judicial review, where it determines which laws and policies are constitutional, or allowable, and which are not. We discussed examples of judicial review.
Today, Bella and I worked the major muscle groups of our arms and legs, then stretched. I reminded her to breathe through each forced muscle contraction and stretch. I advised her to be aware of how her knees feel while doing plie squats so she doesn't injure her knees.
Today, Bella and I continued reading Act 1 Scene 1 of Othello. We worked on comprehending the Shakespearean language. We cited textual evidence showing the way Iago describes Cassio in lines 19-26 and selected four key phrases that suggest why Iago is jealous of him.
Review of Algebra I practice test; review Bella's List of Math Principles to Know (note -- this was not turned in on schedule and so we were unable to review)
Assignment
Go through all the Algebra I practice test questions that you were able to do (and the corrections and notes I sent you) so we can review the remaining items crisply and in full tomorrow. Email me a scanned copy of Bella's List, which was due to have been emailed to me today. Thanks

Lesson Comments
Bella is not doing requested homework and so is not progressing at a rate she is capable of. I talked with her about this today and hope to see an improvement. Also, I think it would be helpful for Bella to talk with a guidance/college counselor if possible so class and knowledge pre-requisites for prospective college majors are clear to her. I talked with her today and her brother is a lawyer and it seems she could have some interest in being a lawyer (and in particular, a judge) -- if this is the case her need to catch up and accelerate math learning (which will be necessary if she wants to be a nurse) could be mitigated.
Judicial Branch of Government: Definition, Role & Power
Lesson Outline
The judicial branch is one of three branches of the federal branch. The judicial branch includes criminal and civil courts and helps interpret the United States Constitution. As we learned, the most important part of the judicial branch is the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's role is to interpret the Constitution and limit the powers of the other branches of government. The Supreme Court's power to do this is its power of judicial review, where it determines which laws and policies are constitutional, or allowable, and which are not.
