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.

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.

Wow!  I was sick all of last week.  I know many of us are and I am praying for each of my students who are absent.  This is the last week of the quarter and we are finishing things up.  Today I collected all work from last week.  This included: New Years Resolution Rough Draft, New Years Resolution Final, "Thank you, Ma'am Questions", and the Okapi Close reading packet.
