Homework

Language Arts

1. Read 20 minutes. Post your reading to the reading log on http://56reading.wikispaces.com/

2. R&E #2 - Due this week. Practice your book commercial at least three times.

3. Reflections Contest. Due Tuesday December 9, 2008. This is a requirement for students in Mr. Joe's LA/SS class this year. Students may enter any or all of the six categories. The students all received a hard copy of the entry form, or you may access it here. All entries must have a copy of the registration form with the parent/guardian attached.

4. Study for Classroom Spelling Bee on Wednesday December 3. If you need more words, search online yourself, or use this site. You really can't memorize every word, it's best to look for patterns. The best way to improve spelling is to read a lot.

5. Practice You'll Never Walk Alone for the QPC:

Jordan Sparks version
Gerry and the Pacemakers version (original)
Liverpool Football Match version
Memorize Lyrics Here

Social Studies

Current Events Week 3'ers. Post to Moodle by Wednesday December 3. Responses by December 5. Ask your student for details. The assignment is clearly explained on Moodle.
