- vocab flash cards

- Bio Poem

- Packet pg. 18 (remember ACE for full credit) and pg. 21 VIP from class today (you do not need to do all 4).

- reading log

 

Tomorrow, instead of stamping your packets, I am going to collect and grade them over spring break. I will be counting how many stamps you have any how thorough your pg. 18 ACE responses are! :) 

 

THEN, we can enjoy spring break. See ya tomorrow!

Due Friday: Instead of completing pg. 19 in your packet, you are going to create a bio poem for one of the three women in chapters 1-3 (Jo Ann Robinson, Claudette Colvin, Rosa Parks). You may hand write this, or print it, color it, fancy it up, draw pictures, print pictures or quotes, etc, however you would like! This is supposed to be fun and creative for you to do a closer read of Ch. 1-3. Please put your name period and date on the back.

 

(Line 1) First name (of your choice from above)

(Line 2) Three or four adjectives that describe the person

Hey students & parents!

 

For Trimester 3, you will need to get some index/flash cards for our new vocabulary words:

- 60 index cards

- 3x5 size

- must be hole punched on top left corner of blank side (you can buy pre-hole punched ones on amazon, or hole punch them on your own)

- and put onto a metal ring (one that is big enough to hold 60 flash cards)

- colored or white is fine

 

 

You must have your flash card rings ready to go by Tuesday, 3/6 for a total of 5 points! This is a good way to start of the new trimester with an A+ ;)

 

Raider Bills will be given to:

- any student who brings extra hole punched flashcards :) 

 

Please let me know if you or your parents have any questions.
