SNOW DAY ON A SATURDAY?!?!?!? :/
Anyway. Click below to view and print “Abuelito Who” and the two articles about Lance Armstrong.
You may need these articles to finish BW and CW that we worked on last week.
Also, you may want to use the first Lance article for your group presentation.
Also, there MIGHT be a small quiz next week. It will PROBABLY be about the second Lance article … “23 Days in July”.
Some silly people believe that scary things happen on Friday the 13th.
Other crazies believe that Friday the 13th is sure to bring bad luck.
Sensible people believe that nothing bad happens on Friday the 13th. They say it’s just another normal day.
(Can you tell which one I believe?)
HW:
composition book page #3
“Friday the 13th … Do You Belive?”
ALERT! ALERT! Misspelled word somewhere up there ^.

WRITING ASSIGNMENT
“The Perfect Pet”
Some people like dogs as pets, some like cats, and others prefer birds, snakes, fish, rabbits, pigs, horses, or other animals.
What animal is the perfect pet? What does it look like? How does its fur or skin feel? What does it eat? How would this pet help humans? Does it make any sounds or weird noises? It is perfectly fine to use your imagination and create a new pet that no one has ever seen before.
Today, please write a short but interesting story about your perfect pet. Try to describe your idea of a perfect pet so that your reader can picture it.
1. First, write a rough draft on loose leaf. Please skip lines for the rough draft. Your rough draft should be AT LEAST one page (skipping lines) but more than one page is probably better.
2. Read through your draft. Use colored pencils to REVISE your rough draft. You should make at least five improvements to your rough draft.
3. On a new sheet of loose leaf, write a final copy. You should take your time and use your best handwriting for your final copy. DO NOT SKIP LINES! Please try to fit your final copy on the FRONT only of the loose leaf.
4. Neatly staple your final copy on top of your rough draft.
HINT: Your rough draft and final copy are due IN CLASS! Please get right to work and do not waste time in class. This assignment is worth AT LEAST 10 points, probably more.
HOMEWORK:
For a little bit of extra credit, you may draw a picture of your perfect pet. Please take your time and make your picture neat and colorful. (5 points)
I was involved in a very serious car crash.
My car is completely trashed.
It was not my fault, and I was not hurt.
Unfortunately, the driver of the other car was injured and was taken by ambulance to the hospital.
Not good. 🙁
I’ll tell you guys more about it tomorrow.
OK. Well. First of all … “Happy Birthday, Mary Jane!”
TUESDAY – I didn’t post on the blog because we started new groups.
WEDNESDAY – I didn’t post on the blog because we were working on portfolios.
THURSDAY –
HW #1 – supplies check Friday
HW #2 – Show your portfolio to mom or dad. Ask him or her or them to sign the final report. Bring the WHOLE portfolio back to class tomorrow.
HW #3 – Choose ONE of the words from Wednesday’s bell work and complete a SKETCH sheet. All five of the words are in ONE GIANT SENTENCE on page 816.
HINT: Page 816 was posted on my blog on Monday.
NOTE: 6th hour only needs to worry about HW #1. 😀
I think you should click below.
I think you should read that page. I think you should read it a few times. I think you should really study that page.
I think in class tomorrow you should hit me up with any questions you might have about that page.
All tests for all hours have been graded.
I will be plugging your points into StudentConnect tomorrow.
See you in a few days!
😀
