Explain what you learned about yourself in this situation. Be sure to complete today's work for tomorrow. (transition practice, summary practice, science answers (2 worksheets). If you were finishing your soapstone, you have more homework than others but I will give you time tomorrow to work on your goals if you need it. You also need to upload your final photo of completed soapstone, socials written rubric and model assessment to Fresh grade. Remember to comment on how you did, what you learned and what you would do to improve next time. Grade 6s be sure to upload your mid-chapter test. Feels like spring? Don't let the warm weather distract you. Well-done on your listening practice today. Remember the signal is the frog clicker, the word is focus and your job is to stop what you are doing, look at the teacher and hear what is being said. Tomorrow is a test to see if you have your other reminders copied off the board. Remember I am checking to see if you are using your planner. (I'm not putting them here...maybe you'll have to reach out to your study buddy.)

Zoella and Turtles: Just keep getting things done. You have all weekend and you have Monday and Tuesday class time and recesses to complete your tasks if needed. Do one thing and check it off your list. Then go to the next. It was your choice turtles to do your project at home...why did you wait until the weekend? I gave you class time this week to work on it. Any more questions? Comment on what you noticed when we had the 'no socializing rule' during your soapstone work today. Get it?? See the video below to review angles grade 6s. Social: you need to take more notes...tomorrow is another day with the laptops for note taking or publishing.
