Another Snow Day Ruins Our Plans

I don’t know about you, but I’m not too happy about all these snow days.  I’m sure you guys are pretty happy aboutthese days off.

Somethings to remember while you have the day off:

* Test will be moved to Wednesday, March 3rd
* Study Guide will be due on Wed., March 3rd
* Vocabulary is still due on Tues., March 2nd
* We will continue to work on our projects on Friday and Monday

If we happen to have another snow day on Friday, then we will bump everything down a day. I’ll post another update if we are off on Friday.  UGH!!

Newspaper Template

I’ve heard some talk about interest in the newspaper template from last year.  Remember to use 8 1/2″ by 11″  (legal sized )paper when printing this out.

The second “story” project is upon us…

Today, we started our second “story” project.  Whether you’re completing the storybook or the digital story, your task is simple.  Find 4 pictures that represent ideas from the Qin Dynasty and 4 pictures that represent ideas from the Han dynasty and create a bound book or a digital story.

This time around, we will only spend 3 school days on this project.  I’m sure that is all you will need.
