Good morning grade 7's!
We're going to try something different today. I think it's going to be very interesting to see how well some of you do experiencing a taste of "online" schooling.
Here is the morning plan:
1. Go to the left hand side of our blog and click on the teen devotionals link. Choose one of them to read and then pray quietly at your desk. (Please bow your head, close your eyes or go to your journal to type out a prayer. I ask this just so I can see that you are seriously doing this.)
2. Next, I want you to do journal writing. This should go until 9:00. Here are your topics to choose from although you know that you can choose ANYTHING you want to write about.
*What have you been thinking about lately?
*Write a story about _________________'s terrible, no-good, rotten, horrible day.
*Choose an object in the room and think of as many uses as you can for it.
3. At 9:10 we are all going to do the Walk Through the Old Testament Actions together probably 5 times. Then we will do some stretches. This will be our DPA.
4. Next I want you to create something educational, artistic, or original with all our spelling/vocab words this week. (You have until 9:45 to do this.) Ideas: word search, wordle, crossword, game, fill in the blank, pictogram, etc......... Anything that will help you/other students review.
5. From 9:45 to 10:10 (recess) please go to this science website and review States of Matter as we will be having a quiz next week. (You will need headphones for this.) Yes, I know some of it is goofy - but then so are you. :)
6. After recess, we have Spanish/French.
7. Then we have Music until lunch.
8. After lunch you will free read for 20 minutes then I will read to you for 20 minutes while you choose to either have free time on the computer, draw or do something that allows you to still concentrate on the story.
9. We will have Jesse present his Art Project and we will allow for some journal sharing time with small groups and then the whole class.
10. At recess, some of you will need to get ready for skiing. Goodbye! Have a safe, fun time!
11. The rest of us will finish off anything that's been left undone. Missed quizzes, chapter 5 questions, etc.
12. Clean up and off we go.
Hope you enjoyed your day being sort of an online/homeschooled student.
