In today’s class, we continued our discussion on genetics, including talking about sex-linked traits and what they are and what examples of them there are, in addition to discussing pedigrees. Cameron took notes that followed along with the material.
In today’s class, we continued our discussion on genetics, including talking about non-mendelian genetics, multiple alleles, complete and incomplete dominance, and codominance. Cameron took notes that followed along with the material.
In today’s class, Cameron worked on an activity that deals with Punnett squares. He was given several scenarios and asked to fill out a punnett square for each, along with answering some questions on each completed square. Cameron did very well with the activity.
In today’s class, we continued our discussion on genetics, including talking about Mendel’s laws and what role they play in genetics, as well as punnett squares and how to complete them. Cameron took notes that followed along with the material.
In today’s class, we continued our discussion on genetics, including talking about human heredity and Gregor Mendel and his experiments. Cameron took notes that followed along with the material.
The D-Day Invasion: The Beginning of the End of Nazi Germany
Lesson Outline
The "D" in D-Day refers to the "Day of Days." And indeed it was as it signified a joint, Allied invasion of Nazi occupied Europe. On June 6, 1944 the largest amphibious (by water) and air invasion in history crossed the English Channel to Normandy, France. Under the planning and leadership of U.S. General/Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Western Europe put 1000's of soldiers who landed by water and air in unimaginable peril. The code name for this operation was "Operation Overlord." This historic invasion liberated Nazi occupied France and Allied forces continued to move east to defeat Germany. Finally, celebrations occurred around the world on May 8, 1945. This day is known as V-E (Victory in Europe Day). And this didn't end WWII as the war against Japan continued to rage in the Pacific. The cost of Allied lives to free the world of tyranny was tremendous. It's one of the many reasons historians refer to people who fought against dictators, contributed to the war effort or survived a variety of terrors as our world's "greatest generation." We will continue to focus on "D-Day" tomorrow.

Lesson Comments
Remote lesson today. Cameron told he "just didn't feel like coming to school," today.
In today's class, Cameron worked on an activity that deals with inheritance of traits and genetics. He was given a guided reading passage with questions to answer at the end that test what he knows about what he's read. Cameron did very well with the activity.
Entrance ticket with comprehension question & concepts/key terms related to coming-of-age texts related to yesterday's content; introductory activities in assignment on Teams titled "Challenging Truth: Identifying Credible Sources."
We looked at how a marketing budget must be tailored to the types of Advertising that is appropriate for each business. We talked about how Google has created their own system to help businesses take advantage of collect user data.
