Hello, Students!
This week, we will have a fun time learning some "colonial" skills--but skills that can help you in the future!
Monday, of course, is a day off for you, and I will be meeting with most of your parents to tell them how you each are doing!
Tuesday, we will finish Roanoke by finally watching the A&E show, America Unearthed.
Wednesday is our field trip to Hancock Fabrics where you will use your costume designs to choose your fabric for your colonial character doll. (Permission slip is below for those of you who won't be able to attend Conferences.)
Thursday, you will be learning to thread a needle, sew on a button, and make a running stitch.
Friday, you will learn to sew a seam on the sewing machine!
Remember that on Tuesday, you have several things due:
There will be a spelling test over last week's words.
You must bring in your Colonial Doll (with no costume)
You need to have finished reading The Witch of Blackbird Pond, Chapters 20 and 21.
You will turn in your last page of Character notes for Chapters 17-21.
You will have a quiz over Chapters 17-21.
Your written Character Sketch is due, typed and proof read, this Friday, February 22.
This coming week, you will have no spelling words to study, and will be reading each night for 30 minutes from a book of your choice.
Have a wonderful weekend--the weather is beautiful!
Below are the links to the schedule for the week, and some sewing instructional videos you will see in class.
