Week 22

Hello Everyone,

It is such a beautiful day outside! I just wish it were warmer! (I am pretty sure I am suffering from Spring Fever. Are you?)

There was some confusion about the presentations for this past Tuesday, so no one was ready. It worked out well because we had more time to review and practice our "Atoms Family" presentation.

Presentations for Weeks 22 and 23 were going to be persuasive speeches wih the presentation focus being "persuading without notes". Week 24 is suppose to be about anything the student wanted to present. I AM CHANGING THESE! Week 23 and 24 will be Impromptu on any topic of the students choosing for no more than 3 minutes. (This should ease the burden of those working on their Memory Mast., Memory Ex., and Memory Pow., as well as our poster!)

I will be available for hearing from Memory Masters/Excellence/Power on Tuesday, March 13th from  12:00 - 4:00. I will also be available on Tuesday, March 20th 12:00 - 2:00. If we do not get finished that day, I can meet with folks during the remainder of Week 24. I know that some of you are in Essentials, but we can still proof during that time with parental permission. 

Please keep working on your atom posters being sure that the letter on the back is positioned right for the flip over at the end. If you need a new yellow poster, I got them at Dollar Tree. Bring them to class on Tuesday. Your singing was great and it sounded like most of you knew the song...keep singing! Lastly, get sunglasses! It will be really cool with all of us wearing them. I'll get some too! I am getting the funny glasses with a mustache and big nose for us to wear as we enter as professors!

I put the Trivial Review game away and made notes about where everyone was...Keep studying. Each group had one piece of pie!

Lastly, our marble jar was full! GOOD JOB YOU MASTERMINDS!!! Bring in fruit for our Spring Fruit Fun day on Tuesday. I will bring in the plates and napkins...and water. It should be fun to see what you all come in with. It should be natural fruit!! Fruit Roll Ups are not real fruit!! :)

You all have an awesome week...
Blessings,
Mrs. Black
