Tuesday, January 8th

Okay, so spelling and math quizzes are not a good idea when you've been out all morning. That's okay. I am glad you got your GeeArt lesson done though and don't think I didn't notice how you had Harry and Madi following along and learning about lines!

Today we'll start with what you didn't do yesterday and just carry on from there:

- Spelling

- Multiplication quiz. It's the four times table that we didn't do yesterday of course.

- Key to Geometry. You've only got 10 pages of book 1 left so we'll just zoom through it and see what you know and what you need to do. Let's aim for finishing it today and then we'll move on to the Key to or Math Mammoth book of your choice. You can pick from Measurement, Geometry book 2, Decimals book 2, Fractions book 2, Algebra or Percents.

- History. We'll get back to Story of the World. We can pick up with the Peloponnesian wars and then Alexander. SOTW then takes a bit of a side trip and teases you with a bit about the Nazca and Olmec. We'll stop after the tracks about them and you can come back here to explore some sites on those cultures.

Olmec:
Olmec Heads
Figures of Olmec Mythology
The Olmec

Nazca:
Hot Science/Alien Evidence? (The skeptic in you will like this page!)
The Unmuseum - The Lines of Nazca. The bottom of the page has a link to our activity for the day, showing how the Nazca lines may have been created. It involves going outside but we'll do it on even a smaller scale inside. Oh! Doesn't this all relate nicely to your art lesson yesterday?

Finish up your day with a logic puzzle at Learning Games. That's it!
