Thursday, March 13, 2014

There will be no Cave Time on Thursday, March 13 or Friday, March 14 
in Ms. Dorsey’s Classroom.    
Please make sure you’ve handed in any late or revised work  
(or extra credit)
for Term 3 by the end of the day

on Friday.






Announcements and Reminders: 
Extra credit is available to those who behave very well for the substitute teacher. 

You should have turned in your brochure.  If you haven't yet, use the template to make it (check with the grading rubric to make sure you have done all that is required), print, tape, and fold it, and attach it with a paper clip to your grading rubric.   Check the rubric carefully so you earn all of the points possible. 

Tomorrow is the last day to turn in late and revised work or extra credit -- except I will still allow students to recite the Gettysburg Address for extra credit on this term.


If you haven't signed up for your March book, do so right away. 


Today’s Agenda:
1.  Individual reading and sign up for your March book if you have not. 
If you have lost your assignment sheet and sheet of questions for the March Book of the Month Assignment, see the Required Reading tab above. You can download those papers from there -- or here: March Book Assessment 2014.doc
Examples for the book project:  Your March Book Project

2.  Begin writing your Gettysburg Essay.   
      Read the Prompt and information about it.
      Write step-by-step in the essay packet. 
       
3.  Read from How They Croaked and answer questions about the chapters: Cleopatra and Christopher Columbus.

4. (If time) Play Sparkle to practice your commonly confused spelling words.
