PJ returned from a Mother's Day weekend trip to Orlando. He continued his Blue’s Clues x HP Lovecraft crossover project, sketching a horror-style logo on paper using the “scariest font possible.” I showed fashion images from Kazakhstan Fashion Week for visual inspiration.

Topic 8-4 Find Volume of Spheres – We learned that the volumes of the sphere and cone are proportionally related. The volume of a sphere is twice the volume of a cone that has the same circular base and height. The formula for the volume of a sphere is V = (4/3) pi r3 where r is the radius of the sphere.

PJ and I spent the period talking about his summer plans and his future endeavors.
At the end of the period, PJ had to make one more visit to the chicks.

PJ took a test on planets. We reviewed for a test on Topic 8. Then we practiced identifying objects in our solar system.

PJ and I discussed current events - he was excited that this is the first time a pope from America was elected! We also noted tht Trump's approval rating went up. I also gave PJ an activity sheet in which he had to identify and correct incorrect spellling in a paragraph; prompts facilitated his attention to the task at hand. He has a few more sentences to complete that he may finish next week.

We practiced finding the volume and surface area of composite figures.

PJ started the class by jogging 6 laps on the perimeter of the field.
We came back to the pavilion and did a dumbbell workout.
We finished with a complete body stretch and cool down.
