Week 24 (S2W9)
“In man is a three-pound brain, which, as far as we know,
is the most complex and orderly arrangement of matter in the universe.”
Next week is the Foundations Spring Break! We will be meeting at my house for our Challenge day. We will have a regularly “full” day of class, with only 5 weeks to go from there! I will be ordering pizza; please bring a snack or treat to share.

Romans 12:2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Matthew 22:37 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with your entire mind.
2 Corinthians 10:5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.
Colossians 3:2-3 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
I Corinthians 2:2 For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

Please continue learning your vocab - we will be practicing a dry run of our vocab for Blue Book on Monday to identify areas that need more review.
Continue learning the pronouns! *Print copies of this chart for copy work at home.
Practice one verb conjugation chart per day to get into the conjugating groove! This will get easier with practice! : )
Continued study of Africa with the addition of Eastern Africa!
Daily cartography homework includes one new map, one review map.
Students drew Eastern Africa countries to research and share next week. : )
We assessed the skin (see blank page assessment in their journal), reviewed the skeletal system, and introduced the Brain today!
Draw the anatomy of the Brain and define terms (found in back of Anatomy Journal). [Lots of “Draw the human brain” on You Tube if you want to see other approaches to it.]
Remember to continue drawing previously learned systems for review as these will all be in the hat for drawing at Blue Book.
Next week: Skeletal assessment (blank page draw + label)
