December 2, 2010

Students performed some creative Egyptian ceremonies for our mummified chickens today. May the chickens forever rest peacefully in the afterlife.

Homework:

Read 30 minutes
Sign the planner due 12/3

Soc. Studies: We had fun today enjoying our Egyptian "feast". Thank you parents for supplying olives, cucumbers, etc. at the last minute. Students were assigned the Middle East map. It will be due Tuesday, Dec. 7.


Language Arts:
Students need to choose a Christmas story that they would like to read before the class. They will only read 2 minutes of the story. It does not need to be memorized. They should not choose "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" or ""Twas The Night Before Christmas." They will be graded on the following:
***Volume
***Speed
***Fluency
***Expression
We will practice in class. However, it would really be helpful if the students practice reading the story to their family members. The book is due: Monday, December 6.

"Do You Want Fame?" Essay due date has been moved to Monday, December 13. Today students worked with partners and helped each other edit their essays. Students will need to enter the corrections/suggestions into their essays at home over the weekend.
