Lesson 2 Building a Time Line – We investigated how fossil records provide evidence of the existence, diversity, disappearance, and change of many life forms throughout the history of life on Earth. We explored the sequencing of events preserved in the geologic record. We used models to observe time phenomena and analyze and interpret rock strata in the fossil record to provide relative dates. Then we constructed scientific explanations based on evidence gathered and an understanding of the principles of relative-age dating.

2-2 The Distributive Property – We learned that when you use the distributive property you multiply the number outside the parentheses to each number inside the parentheses. Then we learned that you can also use the distributive property on more than two variables or constants inside parentheses.

Pj Reviewed his new spelling and Wordly Wise Words. He completed several activities using these words in context demonstrating his understanding of how these words are used. He worked on an activity finding and recognizing the difference between a simple predicate and a complete predicate.

John Locke and Natural Rights: Influence on U.S. Bill of Rights. JJ Rousseau and The Social Contract.
Influence on the Founding Fathers and U.S. Constitution. J Locke Natural Rights included the right to liberty, happiness, and to own property. Rousseau's Social Contract advocated for a 2-way relationship between citizens and their government. Citizens obey laws and serve in the military in exchange for protection and creating opportunities to establish a productive happy life.

I have organized PJ’s art notebook with visually exciting Art Elements and Principles of Design reference sheets and skill set practice sheets. I have given him the task of looking through those sheets as review and to sharpen his skills on the practice sheets. He can work on those at his own pace, but I want him to try to do a few exercises on each sheet or in his sketchbook.

He selected the design principle contrast and started working on a design in his sketchbook. I encouraged him to look at the color wheel and asked him what complementary colors are. He did not know. We reviewed what they are, and I asked him to choose two complementary colors for his contrast exercise. Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel, and when next to each other, they pop! Then his dad came to pick him up early. I asked PJ if he would like to continue working on his design over the weekend, but he said no.

PJ is thinking about his next project for Visual Arts 2.

We completed the Pre-Algebra home work.

Lesson 2 Building a Time Line – We analyzed fossil records to determine the relative ages of rocks and learn about Earth’s history. The fossils showed us clues about the kinds of organisms and climates that occurred on Earth. We learned to use the complexity of fossils to provide relative dates.

2-1 Properties of Numbers – We learned that the commutative and associative properties of addition and multiplication allow for adding and multiplying numbers in any order. The identity property of addition and multiplication states that any number added to zero or multiplied by 1 is equal to that number.
