Other stuff:
How's Guns, Germs and Steel going? Talk to me and we'll re-evaluate whether you should go through the whole thing. It's a bit of a big book on top of your other readings. By the way, how is The Fairie Queen going? You've decided to read the whole thing. I should warn you it's actually not complete. I have no idea what that means in terms of what it's missing but Wikipedia said it was incomplete so I'll pass on the info. I also read that the whole thing is allegory. And one of the longest poems in the English language.You might want to look into that.

Friday. Huzzah!
In celebration of the arrival of Friday, let me offer this for your morning's enjoyment:
Fiddle:
Play like the Devil!
Math:
Algebra, 7.10. You know the drill. Read, examples, evens in exercises, odds if you don't display your standard of mastery. Record marks in comments section. YOU'VE BEEN DOING THAT ALL WEEK, RIGHT???
Geometry, Ch. 1, L. 6. Sets 1, 2 and 3.
Chemistry:
Read Ch.2.1. Answer review questions. About Observation worksheet is homework due Monday. Come out of your room and into the bigger world of the kitchen for an exciting candle observation.
Save for Monday.
Latin:
You're signed up for the demo on the Focus publishing site, right? Explore the pronunciation section and see if the grammatica Latina section has what you need. If not, spend about 20 googling to see if you can find what you need grammar wise so I don't have to buy more books. Actually, textkit.com has a bunch of free Latin books you can download
for free and a forum of Latin learners. That might be the best place to start.
English:
Web essay is not due. It is due next Friday. So there.
Theory of Knowledge:
Read p. 40-44 and then come out for an enlightening discussion with me over tea and...whatever I have baked. If I have nothing baked then we might have to simply raid the baking cupboard for chocolate chips.
I was wrong, to you didn't read it and I baked nothing. Bah.
Other stuff:
Did you notice anything missing this week? No Python programming? Huh. Could that be because you didn't schedule it out? Why yes! Yes, it is! Homework for the weekend is to do that and enter it into Scholaric for the next week. Pick days you think you can handle the extra work. Also, you're cooking supper on Sunday. Ha ha! So check with me on what we have and think about what you might like to make. Bug me about sewing and sketching as well.
Oh, and you have Ranger camps to apply for. TODAY.
Love you.

Give it a quick read. I can print it or for reference if you'd like. Then go to this site, http://focusbookstore.com/courseware.aspx, click on, "demo now," under the Lingua Latina course info and sign up. Tomorrow you'll evaluate what it has to offer, specifically the pronunciation and Grammatica Latina sections, to see if they're what you're looking for.

Other stuff:
Reading, reading, and finish anything undone as homework.

Holy Crap! We're behind!
Okay, we're behind anyway with your algebra because we dragged out collective arse last year but now we're behind on the NEW school year because you went and got all sickified!
DON'T GET SICKIFIED AGAIN!!!
Let's move on to what I expect of you today. Tons. Tons of tons. Tons of tons of tons.
Fiddle:
Practice. You have a lesson today!
Math:
Foerster's Algebra 7.8 - Solving Systems of Equations by Substitution
Read, work the examples and do evens in the exercise. Test yourself and if you score under 90% do the odds.
Jacob's Geometry Ch. 1, Lesson 2. Do sets 1, 2 and 3.
Chemistry:
Read 1.2. Answer the review questions in your binder. We will do the Dazoo activity with Harry.
Latin:
Grammatica Latina and Pensum A (of some chapter that you did not enter into the Scholaric site. Bad, bad girl.)
English:
You've read John Wyndam's Web and you've mentioned a few interesting thoughts about it. Come up with a thesis and write a short essay on it. Refer to The Lively Art of Writing as needed. I want the thesis statement by tomorrow (put it in the comments section of the blog) and the essay is due on Friday afternoon.
Poetry:
Read Versification in The Norton Anthology of Poetry, all 20 pages. Go back to the first page and reread the information on the three broad categories of poetry. Summarize the definitions in your binder.
Read Book 1 of The Fairie Queene by Edmund Spenser, p. 152. When I say read I mean read it through once to get a sense of it. Read it through again while paying special attention to the footnotes. Some of this may need to be homework for today. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Remember:
You have three weeks left to get Guns, Germs and Steel read. Also, I'd like to keep track of books, short stories, poems, articles you've read and documentaries you've watched. I know I've missed a few from the summer so could you add those to the comments section? PLEEEEEEAAAASE?
I love you dearest child. Muchly.
