As we approach the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday this coming Mon., 1/16/23, we looked back at the civil rights leader's life and legacy. Martin Luther King Jr. dedicated his life to the nonviolent struggle for civil rights in the United States. King's leadership played a pivotal role in ending segregation for African Americans and to the creation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, considered a crowning achievement of the civil rights era. King was assassinated in 1968 when he was only 39 years old. His words and legacy continue to resonate for all those seeking justice in the United States and around the world. As King said at the Washington National Cathedral on March 31, 1968, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." Dr. King's life, leadership and legacy remains an important part of American History. Jaydn agrees that his legacy is important to her generation.

During today's Geometry class, we continued working on Chapter 2. Jaydn worked on solving some practice questions.

Non-responsive to several attempts to reach her via calls and texts in Teams.

A test on Chapters 1-5 was scheduled for today's session. Due to technological problems , we lost the connection for almost all of the session and Jaydn was unable to take the exam. We were able to speak for a few minutes during which I assigned homework reading due for Tuesday and rescheduled the test.

During today's Chemistry classes, we continued working on Section 5.2. We worked on locating and naming the four blocks of the periodic table and explained the reasons for these names. We also discussed the relationship between group configurations and group numbers.

The Reconstruction era represents the period following the American Civil War from April 9, 1865, to March 31, 1877. President Abraham Lincoln would be the first in a series of three presidents attempting to guide the Reconstruction era in American society postwar. The period often involved contentious debates between the executive branch and Radical Republicans in Congress regarding the methods for reunification of the North and South. The abolition of slavery under the 13th Amendment and subsequent advances under the 14th and 15th Amendments would usher in an experimental period in American society intended to determine the destiny of freedmen in the nation. Many Black men were elected to Southern legislatures in the period directly following the passage of the Reconstruction Amendments. Southern states criticized the carpetbaggers' (the derogatory name given to some northerners who moved to the post-war south to start businesses) greed and corruption and remained loyal to the former Confederates who were elected to office during the period. The end of the Reconstruction era came after the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives in 1874 moved to no longer fund the effort. But what was to come of freed African Americans who needed protection and more direction from their government after 250 years of brutal slavery.

Working online, Jaydn worked on a Language Arts diagnostic assessment in IXL. She understood directives, worked independently, and can now move to areas in which she needs additional work.

During today's Geometry class, we continued working on section 2.1. We defined what conditional statements are and how to identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of a conditional.
