Hello Workers,

I hope you are well today.  Thank you for your work yesterday on promoting the March Madness Poetry Tournament.  I hope to share some of the videos that were completed with you this morning. 

Please take care of your three jobs.  After that, please update your reading status.  Next, check your folder for the Brainpop Greek Gods paper.  If you need to finish that, please do.  Those of you who are done can make a March Madness Tournament Poster.  Please be sure to use the information from the easel. 

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey

Happy Wednesday!

Today we will celebrate your essay writing as a class.  I am looking forward to hearing your beliefs and explanations!

In the meantime, please take care of your 3 basic jobs.  After that, those of you who need to finish your essay, please get right to it!  If you are done with your essay, I would like you to complete Math journal p. 215.  This is a page that will require some thinking...please take your time.

Finally,  please do some thinking about how you want to promote the March Madness Poetry Tournament.  We will work on that after Music today.

Hello Greek Mythology Learners,

Are you as interested in the Greek myths as I am?  I am enjoying the stories I have read so far.  Today, I will share a story with you about a King who learned not to be greedy. 

After you have done your three jobs and added to the easel, please pick up your ipad.  I would like you to finish watching the Greek God movie on Brain Pop. Once you feel like an expert, take the quiz.  Once you get 80% or higher, please write something you learned on a post it note and add it to the "New Learning" section on the door.  Finally, please squeeze in some extra IXL practice when you are done.

Kindly,
Mrs. Harvey
