9th Grade Adv. Algebra – We are finally getting to use our graphing calculators for graphing! Linear equations are beginning to look like lines and tables are being represented as graphs in chapter 4. Students have web access to their textbook through the publisher as well! Check Ed-line to find out how!

12th Grade Government – We are anxiously watching the 2008 presidential election. We are anticipating an interesting day on Tuesday the 4th! Though most of us are too young to vote, we are eager to see what kind of policies may be coming our way and patiently waiting for 2012 when we will all be eligible to register!

11th Grade Spanish this month, we are reviewing vocabulary words that deal with train travel. Students will also learn expressions they will need to know in order to order food in a restaurant. To do so, the class will be participating in many hands on and interactive activities such as: acting out skits using the vocabulary learned and having conversations with the teacher as well as fellow students.

In November we will be learning many new and exciting things in Spanish. We will begin by learning the names of school supplies used for studying in class and at home. The class will be able to identify them and know the proper Spanish translation. We are also going to learn about the clothes we wear, what they are called and how we can buy them at your local store. To better understand the lessons, the children will be participating in hands on activities such as: skits, projects and class conversations.

This month we are continuing with our Character Quest curriculum. Our main goal is to search the Scriptures to find out what character qualities God requires of us, and what we can do to achieve them. We will be talking about wisdom and courage and we are also going to view a movie called “The Ultimate Gift”, that deals with the importance of having good character and learning to grow through our life experiences.

Students continue working on checkbooks and check registers. This week they will also be taking a test on honesty. Not only do students learn practical skills in math but we also look at math from a Biblical standpoint. Students have learned and discussed what it is to be honest when dealing with money. We always have great discussions in class and students are learning from each other as well.

Students have been working with the number line looking at positive and negative integers. They just finished a quiz on adding positive and negative integers and will be moving on with subtracting both positive and negative integers. After a little bit of confusion, students now seem to be grasping the concept.
