I worked with PJ to complete painting in all the red sections of his robot painting.

PJ was absent today.

Student absent

PJ began class with five minutes of chick playtime. He’s now developing a Blue’s Clues x Eldritch Horror concept. He began compiling visual references and designing a logo for H.P. Lovecraft as part of the branding phase. I showed him how to insert and manipulate text in Procreate. He experimented with font options.

PJ played a game of chess.

Review for Test on Topic 8 Solve Problems Involving Geometry.

PJ was absent from class today.

PJ went home early today.

We examined small bodies in space. We discovered the shape of a comet’s tail, its composition, and the shape of its orbit. Then we reviewed the effect of solar wind on comets.

We finished up the chapter on World religions discussing indigenous religions. I prompted PJ to speculate about the purpose of rituals and ceremonies in religions, and he made connections between culture and the environment when defining the meaning of animism. I presented information about the indigenous regions of Africa from PJ's text, and we discussed how most local or indigenous religions reflect a close relationship between humans and the environment. PJ contributed insightful and relevant comments in our discussion. We ended our second session together checking on the chicks, which he handles with extreme care. PJ again commented that "my heart is a block of ice but these chicks positively melt it!"
