Good morning 7th graders,
Welcome to Holy Week!
You have two items for your Literature / ELA To Do list and one, highly encouraged, optional item for your Being a Good Person list:
-
-
-
- Religion Reflection / Daily Reading / Daily Journal (20 – 35 minutes)
- Study for 🌊 Hydros💧(3 – 5 minutes)
- Encouraging Message Poster for first responders (optional / highly encouraged / can be used for past reading log credit)
-
-
Let’s get started!
- Religion Reflection / Daily Reading / Daily Journal (20 – 35 minutes)
- First, upload your favorite journal entry from last week on the Teams assignment
- Second, we are using reading/journal time this week to more deeply engage with Holy Week, specifically through the reflections Mrs. Mansfield is posting.
- To complete this assignment:
- Thoughtfully complete the reflections Mrs. Mansfield has posted each day.
- When you are done, copy and paste your response (the one you submit to Mrs. Mansfield) into the “Evidence” column of your reading log
- You are NOT writing two different reflections – just ONE thoughtful, complete reflection shared with two teachers.
- Because you do not need to complete personal reading this week, all other columns (“Title (Author)”, “Time read”, and “Pages read”) will be blank.
- Again, the time you would normally spend reading and reflecting will be used for religion reflections this week.
- Contact me with questions!
- Study for 🌊 Hydros💧(3 – 5 minutes)
- Use whatever study strategy works for you!
- Contact me with questions.
- Encouraging Message Poster for first responders (optional / highly encouraged / can be used for past reading log credit)
- Hopefully, you have seen the posts from Mr. Tice and Mrs. Mansfield about this, but, if not, here is a (near verbatim) recap:
-
- Doctors, nurses, and support staff in hospitals all over the US, including here in Washington, are working very hard to save people’s lives.
- These people are heroes, but they’re also people.
- They are very stressed, they are afraid for themselves and their loved ones, and sometimes they are discouraged.
- We’re asking you to make posters of support for these very brave people working on the front lines of the pandemic.
- Posters will be collected by Ms. O’Leary at the flagpole on Wednesday, 4/8, between 12:30 – 1pm
- If you can laminate the posters at home – great! If not, we can laminate them at school.
- If you can’t make it at the scheduled time, contact us.
-
- This assignment is NOT required – it is purely by choice. If you choose to do this, please be thoughtful and put your best effort into supporting the people who are saving lives.
- EXTRA CREDIT NOTE:
- Thoughtful, heartfelt posters can be used to earn credit for the first two weeks of reading logs.
- Every thoughtfully completed, heartfelt poster (you notice I keep using those words), will count as one day in the reading log.
- 5 fabulous posters = 5 days worth of entries in the reading log OR (for all you fans of algebra out there) X fabulous posters = X days worth of entries in the reading log
- Insert a picture of your poster in the evidence column of your reading log on one of the empty days from the first two weeks (March 16th – 20th and 23rd – 27th).
- Contact me with questions! Or if you need construction paper!
- Hopefully, you have seen the posts from Mr. Tice and Mrs. Mansfield about this, but, if not, here is a (near verbatim) recap:
Okay, that’s everything today. Contact me with questions or if you need some construction paper!
