D day

Hello Smart Kids,

I know today is typically a day to fool people, but I am looking forward to you showing off your smarts today!  Please wash your hands and order you lunch!  There is plenty to do today!

First of all, on the top of your Machines and Motion study guide, please change the date of your science test to April 30th.  Next, please make sure you have at least two sharpened #2 pencils.  After that, you should review your tips from writing a good essay.  (Remember, you put these in the plastic pocket of your planner.)  While you're at it, review the transition words page with a friend.  Practice saying sentences using your favorite transition words.  Finally, please learn more about our new words of the month, "Seek First To Understand, then to be understood."  You can learn about this by reading and completing p. 94 in your planner.

Later today, ___________, ____________ and ____________________ will share their videos.

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey
