Happy April!

Ladybug continued her literature study of Jane Eyre. In psychology she learned about various treatments for mental health disorders, including counseling, therapy, prescriptions, and ECT. She finished Murder on the Orient Express (and was surprised by the ending!). In writing she reviewed avoiding common mistakes, such as adding the suffix “wise” to everything. She’s about halfway through Between the World and Me. We read about the Saxon immigrants in religion, including the controversial Martin Stephan, as well as C.F.W. Walther, who had the pulpit at our church when it was in its infancy.

Chickadee added and subtracted polynomials and multiplied and divided monomials in pre-algebra. She also multiplied a monomial by a polynomial in preparation of learning the FOIL method next week. In history she read about the Alamo, Sam Houston, and the Mexican-American War. In writing, her assignment was a temporal comparison by history about a topic close to my own heart…Chicago! She continued to read The Bronze Bow. In science she started a chapter on the lymphatic, endocrine, and urinary systems.

The weather hasn’t been great for getting outside this week, but I’m hoping for sunnier days for a fun activity next week!
