Class Notes

FRIDAY 16 MARCH 2012
Well, today we took our second test of this nine weeks.  I hope all of you studied as I suggested.  Today was a little strange, or should I say "strained" with our school pictures having to be taken again, outside this time! We got through it all, though! 
I assigned a project today and I need to clarify it. In order to know what should go in to the Longhouse you design, please re-read page 223 that we read today.  That section really gives you a thorough description of a longhouse.  Follow the directions on page 225 carefully, using the text on page 223 as a resource. (You do NOT have to have grass seed on your roof!)  The longhouse is due IN CLASS on Friday March 23.  You have one (1) week to work on this project so don't delay! 
EXTRA CREDIT is due this Tuesday March 20.  If you are planning to do the extra credit, it must come in on Tuesday.  After that date, you will receive no credit.
Remember, to make the dirt stay on the roof, mix it equal parts Elmer's glue and dirt.  When it makes mud, carefully apply it to the roof.  Then it needs to dry.  This could take 1-2 days depending on how much glue you use.
