The first day is outta' the way and everyone survived! The first couple of weeks are a bit atypical, and you were presented with a great deal of information today. Mrs. Eichert and I are happy to see that your minds are ready for action.
Check out some photos from today:

A quick word from Mrs. P:
Remember that you must put yourself on a homework schedule and STICK TO IT all week. If you fall behind now, you'll be frantically trying to catch up for the rest of the year. The tips we are discussing in class are designed to help you become a more efficient worker so that you have the time (and energy) to do the things you enjoy.
Before you begin your homework, take a moment to review your notes from class and familiarize yourself with the objective for each seminar. Look over the specifics of the assignment in your WAG and develop a "Plan of Attack" for each task. If you need help, seek your parents' advice. Do the work; Stay the course. You are extremely capable young people, so rock it out!

"NIHIL SINE LABORE!"
From Mrs. Eichert-
Rhetoric (Logic book):
Great job thinking today!
Here are a few reminders for completing your weekly Rhetoric assignments this year:
I. Read the lessons:
- Read title
- Read key points/vocabulary in the margins
- Read the summary at the end of the chapter
- Start at the beginning and read the chapter in entirety
- Complete exercises at the end of each lesson (as noted in your Assignment Guide)
2. Memorize the vocabulary:
- Study all of the vocabulary every day – about 7-10 minutes
- Choose a method for vocabulary study, such as::
i. Flashcards
ii. Glossary/Vocabulary List (organized by lesson, not alphabetically)
iii. http://www.flashcardexchange.com/ (search “nance” for Intro Logic).
You can put the vocabulary from the lessons in a number of different formats for study. (There is a charge for some of the print options.)
Logic (Saxon Math):
Complete homework as noted in the assignment guide.
Complete your math assignments on graph paper, as we discussed in class. Work neatly! Remember to complete the optional “Math Challenge” for a small surprise next Monday!
