Hey there, Buddy!

Hey, handsome son of mine!  I sure do love you, and I'm thankful you're going to get to help out with Jeremy today.  I'm praying that you'll be a great help, and that you'll learn a lot about leadership, football and that your friendship with Logan and Jeremy grows and grows.

OK.

When time permits I want you to read 1 Corinthians 13.  Tell me what part stuck out the most to you? Remember, Paul wrote this the the Corinthian church.  The city of Corinth was known for being a wild and rowdy city full of confusion with all sorts of Greek gods and tons o' sin.

Pre-Algebra

Here is the homework that will be due on Thursday the 10th:

-Section 3.2 ST pg 96-97 D#1-38

-Read through the 7 examples in the text pages 99-102 that show different examples of solving 2 step equations. This is what we will start with in class on 9/10 and I need students to be familiar with these examples.

-Make corrections to missed test items for 1/2 credit. SHOW YOUR WORK ON SEPARATE PAPER!!!• Don’t forget the test at the end of the year naming the states, their postal abbreviations, and capitals!

History:

Hey.  You gotta have your work organized for Mrs.  Gwen.   You gotta make sure you have papers filed under correct tabs (you wrote down a list of tab labels the second week of school) and can locate things relatively easily. 

• Read Lessons 26-30 in America the Beautiful Part I (disregard the activities listed at the end of each lesson). I suggest using a highlighter and writing notes, thoughts and questions in the margin (in pencil?) as you go.

• In Maps of America the Beautiful, complete:  Lesson 26 and 27 (on Map 10), Lesson 28 (on Map 2 and Map 11) and Lesson 29 (on Map 3).

• In We The People, read page 25-28.

• Define the following (you may use the definitions on p. 97 in you textbook):

• coerce
• intolerable
• munitions
• continental
• militia

• Answer the following questions in your Lesson Review workbook:
• Lesson 26, numbers 1-5  (p. 14 in Lesson Review)
• Lesson 27, numbers 2,4 and 5 (p. 14)

• Lesson 28, number 4 (p.15)
• Lesson 29, numbers 1,2 and 4 (p.15)
• Lesson 30, numbers 1-4 (p.16)

• Boys only: Referring to page 26 in “We The People”, write an imaginary reply from Joseph Webb to Nathanael Greene (in letter form).

I told the students in class that they will be having a test over the fifty states at the end of the year:

• in-class
• closed book (and any other material)
• blank map
• will locate each state and label three things - state name, state postal abbreviation, and capital name
• will count off for misspelled names

SPELLING.

Check it out.  I got the book that Casey Tatum said helped Alex.

You'll be learning the doubling rule.  

Think - ONE syllable.  ONE Consonant will be at the end of the word.  ONE vowel will be before the consonant.  You'll see more about it.  Read the lesson very well.  Make stars on points you don't want to forget.  Do exercise 1 on page 2 and 3.

I love you.  I'm so happy and proud of what our great God is doing in your life.
