Language Arts- Be began today by turning in our invented candy bars.  Next, I handed out the Grammar Packets for Quarter 3.  Although they are due on March 13, I encouraged the students to turn them in before Valentines Day (Feb. 14), so that I have time to grade them and they have time to correct them before the finial deadline.  Then read chapters 3 and 4 in Hoot .  Finally, we did the second page, front and back, of our Hoot  packet.  **Quiz over chapters 3 and 4 tomorrow Bible- We read lesson 16 and went over the memory verse.  When you pass through the water, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.  When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.       Isaiah 43:2

Language Arts- Today we took the Hoot Chapter 1-2 Quiz.  We then did the first page (front and back) of the Hoot  packet.  Next, we viewed several ads for candy bars and were tasked with inventing our own, new, candy bar.  Students should draw their candy bar with the wrapper on and again with the wrapper off.  They should also write a paragraph introducing their candy bar.  The drawings and paragraph is due not later than Monday.  We will be working with these in class so it is imperative that students have their completed work with them.

Today we did an anticipatory activity and explored how are view may be different from our classmates.  We will keep this activity and revisit it when we finish reading and discussing the book.  It will be interesting to see how our view change. Bible- Today we began studying Daniel.  We read about how he refused the rich food of the kings table.  We will be challenging ourselves to 10 days (the same amount of time Daniel asked for (found in the first chapter of Daniel)) with out meat or sweets.  We will begin our challenge a week from today on Monday, January 29. The memory verse for this week is Daniel 2:20-22 " Praise be to the name of God forever and ever; wisdom and power are his.  He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them.  he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.  he reveals deep

3rd Quarter/2nd Semester Starts Monday! Each student must have their copy of the book Hoot   in class on Monday.  This book was on the book list at the start of the school year and you should have already purchased a copy.  I am looking forward to this unit that crosses between Science and Language Arts.
