Week 7 Recap

Mrs. Yates began our day in a rather beautiful manner by gently peeling back the layers of appropriate conversation to reveal its true purpose. VALUE has a deeper meaning when we remember that everyone is WORTHY because we all belong to the Father. That's powerful stuff, Brilliant B'ers. I hope that you pocket and treasure that wisdom as rapidly as you did the greenbacks.

We have certainly been blessed by the Protocol sessions. We owe Mrs. Hinners, Mr. Schwartz, Mrs. Moorhead, Mrs. Millard, and Mrs. Yates a great deal of thanks for generously sharing their time, talent and wisdom!

B'ers....I know that as the year progresses, the work intensifies. It's a natural and understandably-human reaction to want to complain or quit when the work starts piling up. However, I pray that you will see the opportunity to DO HARD THINGS in that moment. Anyone can give up, but it takes a strong person to persevere and finish the task with excellence. Your parents invest their love, time, and energy into your education. If nothing else motivates you, I pray that you HONOR your parents for their love and commitment to you and demonstrate that HONOR by being the best student that God equipped you to be. Surely your parents deserve your best efforts.

Challenge: Look up the Biblical references for honoring parents and write them all out legibly on paper. Take that paper to your parent(s) and read them aloud, demonstrating your commitment to honor them. Ask you parents to confirm that you looked up and wrote the references out on your own and then read them aloud to them by signing their name at the top of the paper. Bring that paper in as described on Week 8 for a special treat.

HOMEWORK NOTES:

Mrs. Eichert wrote the Logic assignments on the board, so I know that you have those written down in your WAG.

Here are the modifications to the WAG, as promised. As always, all other assignments are to be followed according to what is printed in your WAG, whether we have the time to discuss each item or not.

LATIN

• CREATE YOUR OWN CONJUGATION CHARTS to practice conjugating "The Being Verb" in the Present, Imperfect(past) and Future tense. Complete 4 of these charts and KNOW THEM. You must be able to retain those conjugations, and you will want to know the translation for all of this.
• Complete pages 32, 38, 41, & 44. You may use your flashcards and glossary. Try to do the work on your own first and then check the work against your answer key. Mark any corrections with a different color. Label all sentences with the appropriate parts of speech. :)

EXPOSITION

• Bring in your rough draft on Week 8. Bring in that which you have completed, thus far. I realize that many of you are not finished creating your story, and that's ok. Be sure that you type and double space your paper. It is only for this peer review and editing exercise that your paper must be double spaced.

Keep in mind that your final and polished short story must be turned in on Week 13. This, like so many other projects, cannot be done at the last minute.

Yesterday, we revisited the concept of having someone else read your paper aloud. That way, they can not only offer you a positive critique, you can hear whether or not something you intended to say was properly written. I can't stress enough the importance of this step.

Work hard this week so that you can use your week off to catch up, work ahead and/or enjoy your free time with your family.
