The plan was to work with Jaydn to solve problems involving proofs that two triangles are congruent. I was going to ask her to decide which type of congruency was shown in various diagrams. Unfortunately, Jaydn was not available for instruction either in person or virtually. There was no assignment.

Due to the large amount of absences along with Jaydn's poor classroom participation, her progress in geometry is very slow.
We focused on current events during today's class.

Lesson Comments
Jaydn was late for 3rd period history class despite calls and text via Teams. Elise reached out to Jaydn's mom, and Jaydn joined teams late into the period. Jaydn explained that she is upset and not feeling well because she has Covid. She shared that her aunt (who is not vaccinated) was visiting with them these past few days and that she got sick and tested positive yesterday for Covid. Jaydn said that is why Andrew is home today. Jaydn said they are concerned for Andrew - who was exposed to Covid in his father's household last week and now exposed to Covid in his mom's house - because unlike Jaydn, Andrew is not vaccinated.
Jaydn reviewed SAT vocabulary being studied and wrote a short story using the words appropriately in context. She then read, discussed, and completed Part I of Where the Crawdads Sing. We discussed and analyzed the quote, "loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone."
Jaydn was absent for our 4th period class today. I called and texted several times via Teams, but Jaydn did not respond or appear on line between 12:30 - 1:30 today.
The Second World War was largely the result of the failures of the Treaty of Versailles of World War I. When the Allied powers of Great Britain, France, and the United States finalized the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, Germany was blamed for the war and faced many steep punishments. From 1919 to 1939, Germany experienced an economic recession that fostered resentment toward the Allied nations and allowed for fascist ideology to develop in Germany. World War II officially began when Germany, under the leadership of Adolf Hitler, invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. As a result of the Treaty of Versailles, Germany and the Soviet Union lost territory that became Poland. In August of 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union signed the Non-Aggression Pact and the two countries agreed they would not take military action against each other for ten years, planned for the joint invasion of Poland, and a secret agreement to divide Eastern Europe. Two days after the invasion of Poland, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany. While the invasion of Poland has been noted as the start of World War II.

Lesson moved from 1/26/22. Jaydn was absent for class on Wed., 1/26 and Thurs., 1/27.
Jaydn reviewed SAR vocabulary being studied. She read and discussed chapters from Where the Crawdads Sing. She then wrote responding to the prompt: Use precise words and phrases, and sensory language to describe an incident between the two characters of Kya and Tate.
Jaydn read and discussed the next two chapters of Where the Crawdads Sing. She then completed a written response to the quote from chapter 16, "loneliness had become a natural appendage to Kya, like an arm. Now it grew roots inside her and pressed against her heart." Jaydn critically analyzed the quote, its meaning, and its effect on the development of the character Kya.
I reviewed triangle congruency requirements with Jaydn. I explained how the ASA and AAS congruency theorems for triangles are named and how to tell them apart. I asked her to identify pairs of congruent triangles and give the reasons why they were congruent. There was no assignment.

Jaydn seems to have a hard time concentrating on the material presented. At one point, she was unsure of what problem we were supposed to be discussing.
