Odysseus

Jorja had to stay after school to make up a 'No Grade'. This is the first time one of my kids has had to do that. If you are late to the same class more than five times you get a 'No Grade'. Jorja has Chinese first period. She has been late three times this quarter. Some because of elections (trying to get her posters and shirts to the right people), some because of construction is going on/awful traffic, and some because she just didn't get ready in time. Anyway, one of the days she was late they were taking a practice Chinese AP test. Jorja wasn't more than 3 minutes late. The Chinese test was divided into different sections. Listening, speaking, writing and reading. Jorja's teacher marked her late on the assignment portion of Skyward, which gave her four tardies. Jorja does not like her Chinese teacher. She is scared of her. She decided just to stay after and make it up in the 'No Grade' class than talk to her teacher about it.

Jorja had some of her English classmates come over to work on their Odysseus project. Every group was assigned a different part of the book they had to recreate. This is what Jorja and her classmates came up with:

Once Jorja's friends left, she hurried to Young Womens for their Camp Kickoff. I picked her up about thirty minutes later when she had finished what she needed to do. She spent the next hour working on editing the video. At 8:30 she went and practiced for the trek dance for about an hour and then back to editing. It was a long day for her.

Stockton went to diving and came back with Gavin and Noelle. They went to Josh Holmes house to see him open his mission call. Josh dove with them a few years ago. Josh is going to Sao Paulo Brazil. Exciting!
