| Not quite walking into the summer sunset. |
Today -- we finished our five paragraph essays, our theme tests and we began turning in our hard cover books.
Students should bring their back pack in tomorrow ready to load it up with notebooks and whatever else they would like to bring home with them. My goal is to have their desks relatively clutter free by the end of Tuesday.
Students also received their yearbooks today. So they began thumbing through them and signing each other’s books.
We covered some more of the Corps of Discovery. Today the team made it to the Great Plains, ran into the Teton Sioux, almost had a throw-down and they lost their first & last Corp member.
Also I used today to discuss the book the & Habits since it has meant a ton to me. I encouraged them to go out and get the book written for students just about their age:

Click her for the Prezi that I used for our talking point.
Click here for the nutshell version.
At the end of the day we discussed a few things that I hope they can take w/ them as they move on:
Memorize or be willing to look up the difference between:
to, too, & two
there, their, & they’re
were, where, wear, and we’re
I showed them if they didn’t memorize the differences that it only took about 10 seconds to do a Google search and they could find the answer.
We talked about liability and liability’s effect on your life.
I discussed college and things to consider when they head off to college and during college.
I failed to collect most student’s Reading Around the World so I need that tomorrow.
Friday -- the promotion starts at 10:15; The doors to the multipurpose room will open up at 10:00 a.m. Except for the family that bought front row seats at the Fall Festival or the recent Auction, people can not show up the night before or in the early morning and reserve seats.
You must be present to grab your seat.
Remember to factor in that parking will be jammed packed on Friday so you will need to factor in the extra walk time if you want to sit towards the front.
