Class Assignment

Tuesday October 18, 2011
Today we corrected our maps on North Africa, then we read the lesson on Jerome and The Vulgate.  We discussed the Bible verses at the end of the lesson.  Then we took the test for Lessons 16-18.  I took the history notebooks up.  Yu will get them back on Friday. Mrs. Stack, Elijah's mom, made copies for us of the characters that we should be putting on our "Wall of Fame" walls or in our booklets we are working on.  Remember these are due Tuesday October 25.  I will not be taking those up any later than that so please be working on them.  Also, your memory cards are due to me that day. All of this information is in your textbook and has been posted on the blog as well as you should have written it down in class when I have put it on the board.  I went back to all my lesson plans and I have been very good about letting you know when you should have been working on these things. I am so sorry you didn't take me seriously. Please let me say that if you put any of this work off, you will not be able to get it all done.  I am going to keep moving forward; you need to make up your mind to keep up.
The Internet work for Wednesday: remember to go to Google and type in "druids" or "history of Halloween" to get to something to read.  Then from that reading, write your paper.  Some of you finished pg. 93 in class and started reading Lesson 19.  Take up where you left off.  The rest of you get it done!
I didn't get a chance to tell you that on Friday we are going in to the choir room with Mrs. Pat Gould, the organist at St. Helena's.  She is going to teach us 2 songs St. Patrick wrote.  I think you will really like Ms. Pat. Please be on your best behavior. We will be joined by Mrs. Mixon and her class.  So, bring your singing voices to class on Friday!
