Homework and news for MAR 3rd

News:
Scholastic Book Fair - students will look at books on TUE MAR 4th, but may not purchase during class time. The fair will be open before and after school for children to make purchases with their parents.

I will be out on WED and FRI this week - sorry, I could not reschedule my performances. Cindie, Nicole and Linda E. will cover.

Primaries: Show on blank US map all the states names ( abbreviations are fine) Create a color code for the states carried for the two candidates you are interested in. Also a color key for the states who will vote tomorrow.

Writing: we are looking at descriptions of place in Reader's Workshop. Please write a description of your favorite room in your home. Minimum of 50 words. Please include sounds,sights,smells, and details from sense of touch.

Our journal prompt this morning was a brain stretching exercise. If students did not do so already they are to draw an "8" at least 5" high or long. The prompt was to change it into something else. The "8" may be at any angle and the two loops can be of equal size. They are to imagine the "8" is something else and add to the drawing. Answer these Qs:
Where would you find this new item?
What is it called?
What can one do with it?
Who uses it?

Please, if you have any could you bring in old magazines for collage?

Thanks,
Norah
