Next week is our last week of regular class, and thus the last week to pass off award requirements. Teacher Amber and I KNOW you can all get that Heritage Award if you work really diligently this week (we completed ours for training in only 2 days)! Also, practice like crazy memorizing the Declaration (give it 30 minutes a day--in smaller increments--and you'll have it made).
Your Opinion Paper this week is: What would you be willing to do to pay the price of freedom?
If you have any missing papers, this is the week to get them finished and turned in, in order to earn your ribbon.
Presentations this week are:
Tillie: Fashion of the Colonial Days
Zachary: The Role of Spies in the Revolution
Dates to Remember:
- January 14th - Last day to earn Award ribbons
- January 15th - Key vs. Sword Battle at the Hellyers' - 10:00am to 1:00pm
- Bring a sack lunch, an airsoft gun if you have one, and eye protection
- Wear a rainproof jacket and boots
- January 21st - Parent night at Bethlehem Lutheran Church at 6:00pm. This is a potluck dinner and each student is encouraged to bring a dish from the time period being studied (labeled, please). We will be showcasing what we've learned this semester, so bring any visual aids you have made for your presentations, and maybe your best opinion paper to set out for display; and be prepared to recite the Declaration of Independence!
If you have any questions, you can post them to the blog, or email them. Keep up the good work, and we'll see you all Thursday!
Did you guys decide if we were all going to say the Declaration all together or if we were going to split up the parts?

Emma-
ReplyDeleteEveryone is encouraged to memorize the whole thing seperately for their own ribbon, however for Parent Night the parts will be split up. Hannah gets to pick her very first parts. You all are welcomed and ENCOURAGED to set up an appointment with Mrs Hellyer and/or myself to mark off other items. If doing this on the phone, or via video conference works best, please let us know. I also am willing to stay after FILA ends on the 14th to allow for more opportunities to get those awards completed.
As Mrs. Hellyer stated... WE KNOW YOU ALL CAN DO IT!
