Hello Patient Designers,


I really, really hope to get you some time to design your 3D creations today.  Thank you for being so patient with this process.  Please order your lunch, wash your hands and put your library books on the cart.  I am assuming you have already read this message!  After your homework is spread out, please update your reading status.  Next, you should pick up your ipad.  Using the log in iis and the password icsd, log into the Brainpop app and search for States of Matter.  Watch the video as many times as you need to so you really understand the information.  Finally, take the quiz at the end.  Once you have an 80% or higher, you can use the Makers Empire app to design!  You might have to take the quiz more than once to achieve a 80% or higher.  Use your Close reading skills to be successful!


Matthew will do the announcements today.  ___Kenny_____, ____Robbie_____ and _____Karlea____ will share an array.

Welcome New Students,

I am thrilled that you are here today!  I can't wait to get to know you better and begin learning with you!

After you have read this letter, you should walk around the room, reading the poem on each desk.  When you find a poem you like, that will be your desk.  Put your backpack at your desk and then do the following:

1.  Wash your hands.
2.  Order your lunch by moving your stick into the correct category.
3.  Give me any notes you have from home.
(Go ahead- do those things now!)

Lastly, you do the morning work I assign.  Today's morning work is to read the letter that is on your desk.  Please do not put anything in your desk yet.  We might be changing desk assignments based on your size.  


Grace C. will do the announcements this morning. 


                                                                 Kindly,
