Today, we read about how our body receives information through sight. Atticus researched the different parts of the eye: cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, optic nerve, ciliary muscle. He wrote the function of each part of the eye in his science notebook.
Atticus and I began with a review of last night's homework on solving equations which he did very well on. Then, we continued the lesson on using patterns in tables to write equations that relate independent and dependent variables. Atticus looked for patterns to determine rules, wrote equations to represent the patterns, and completed the tables. We will finish this lesson tomorrow and possibly take the quick quiz if time allows. For homework, Atticus was assigned more problems on using the properties of equality to solve equations.

During the first half of the session, we discussed and completed writing a concluding paragraph to the literary essay we have been working on during the prior sessions. I provided instruction on expanding upon the thesis as well as embedding quotes from the text. During the second portion of the session, I provided instruction on the use of the suffixes : ful,fully, ,ness and less. Atticus then completed exercises adding the correct suffixes to root words.

Lesson Comments
Today's spelling/suffix lesson is in response to Dr Dixon's recommendations. These will continue perhaps weekly .
We continued working on speed = distance / time equations for speed of sound. He created a table showing the increase in the distance per unit of time. He graphed this information and we discussed the relationship between speed, distance and time.
I gave Atticus a piece of paper to come up with a design that he would like to use for his logo. I scanned the image into the computer, imported the image into Adobe Illustrator, and created a clean PNG file for his mobile site. Atticus saved his work as a PNG with a transparent background.
his attitude was much better, however he thinks it is getting harder.he still talked about unnecessary things during class a lots.He needs to focus the class better.
