***LAST DAY***
Handwriting Booklets: For those students who are working on their Fantastic Falcon Award, the handwriting booklets are due January 7, 2011. Students do not HAVE to do the booklet; there are other options to choose from. However, this is one of the easier options, and a good time to finish them is during the Christmas vacation. Students will only have from January 3-7, to finish them after the break. The books have instructions that need to be followed in order to pass. Also, the students' handwriting should improve towards the end of the booklet. In the past, we have had students try to do a "rush job" in order to get the booklet finished on time. The MOST important reason for doing the booklet is to improve handwriting. The SECOND MOST important reason is to do it for the Falcon Award. Once January 7, has passed, the booklets will not be accepted for the Falcon Award. All booklets will need to be passed off with Mrs. Packard.

Practice Some Pig Greek
Learning Pig Greek takes practice to start, but once you get a feel for how the words are formed, you'll be exercising your brain and chatting away. Pig Greek uses four sounds (chosen because a lot of real Greek words have these sounds in them): "Iklees", "Yiklees", "os", and "kro."
If a group of your friends learn together, you could have conversations.
Iklees: Use for "I"
Yiklees: Use for "you"
For words beginning with consonants, move the consonants to the end, and add "os." For example, "I stay" would be "Icklees ay-stos." "You go" would be "Yiklees oh-gos."
For words starting with vowels, add "kro" before the word. For example, the words "am," "are," and "is" would be "kro-am," "kro-are," and "kro-is."
Have fun practicing!
