Lesson 1, Set 1

Today we checked #s 1-8 -- and finished out the set by answering questions #9-14. These final questions required us to look at the tables we drew yesterday and deduce some patterns from them.

Afterwards we began Set II and the kids' homework is to complete the set (Set II) OR work for at least 30 minutes.

I want to take a minute to describe what my process looks like for kids who do not complete their homework. (This is normally how it goes, but once Jacobs starts in Pre-Al this seems to happen more often...) They will have to sit in study hall at some point to make up for their time--but what really disadvantages them is that they have to leave the room when we are checking the homework they did not complete, and then when they come back into the room (they could be working on the homework they didn't complete) they will have missed what we did together as a class and then have to make THAT up at night. Double-whammy! Moral of the story? Do your homework!

Tomorrow will be finishing up Set II and tying up loose ends before the weekend.
