Today, you have no blog post assignment.  

If you've kept busy, reading, writing, having fun with family and friends, eating healthy, getting daily rest, and exercising, then you made some great choices for yourself during your Spring Break!  

I'm always proud of you, and I'm looking forward to seeing you tomorrow morning in the Quad.  Please bring any work you completed over the break.

Today's blog post uses your comprehension skills.  Comprehension describes what you understand when you read something.  Here is a paragraph about a college class.  Read the paragraph two times, then answer the comprehension questions.

The learning goal for this class is to show you how to use a camera to take clear and artistic photographs.  The things that you will take pictures of in this class are:  groups, children, nature, and five objects that are the color yellow.  Yellow is important because it is a primary color.  The class will meet 6 times.  The instructors are Laura Bemis and Dierdra Asay.  If you want to take this class enter 201311 on your sign up form.

1)  Does the paragraph state where the class will take place?

2)  Who are the instructors (teachers)?

3)  Why do the students have to take pictures of yellow objects?

4)  What is the class number?

5)  What is the learning goal for the class?

I took this picture of a live red-tailed hawk held by his owner.  2013.

Today's blog post is about telling time.  You are expert time-tellers.  For this assignment you will need a blank piece of paper (not lined), scratch paper is even better.  Binder paper is okay.  Also, you need a pencil.  Now you are ready.

Please draw 5 analog clocks using your artistic skills.  Remember to draw a circle, then mark where all of the numbers on the clocks belong.  You may draw the circles free hand, or find a round object and trace around it.  

Challenge #1:  write the numbers in Roman Numerals.  

Challenge #2:  Use a compass if you have one to draw the circles.  

Here are the times for your clocks:

1)  5:05

2)  Quarter past ten.

3)  Three thirty.

4)  Ten minutes to seven.

5)  Ten minutes past seven.

Bonus:  11:55

If you have been keeping up with the blogs, great job!  Two more blog posts to go, and then I will see you in the Quad Monday morning.  I wish you a lovely weekend.

Happy Thursday!  Remember to do your warm-ups, stretches, and healthy heart exercises!  Stay healthy!  Eat food that is good for your body and mind!

Directions:  Today is about writing lists.  Please write a list of things that you enjoy.  Remember, start with a sentence, then a colon, then the list.  Each thing that you list is followed by a punctuation mark called a comma.  The final thing that you list, must have the word "and" in front of it.  You know this!  If you are not sure, remember to get help from an older student or family member.

Here is are some examples:

These are the colors of the rainbow:  red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

These are my favorite animals:  deer, lions, elephants, dogs, hummingbirds, stingrays, and mosquitos.

These are acts of kindness:  smiles, hugs, high fives, hand shakes, head nods, and listening.

You may write ten lists if you like!  Keep each down to no more than 8 things.  Write neatly so I can see your fantastic lists!

After you have completed this writing assignment, then do some art!  Create a picture, painting, sketch, or collage of something in one of your lists!

Happy Spring Break!  Here is a photo taken two days ago.
