HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
After everyone had turned in the papers on The Golden Legend, we paid tribute to our mother's for Valentine's Day.  Moms, ask your student where your valentine card is if you haven't gotten it yet!  They had to come up with a poem or tribute to their Mom, write it out, then see if they could put a candy heart anywhere in the tribute.  If they could, as they wrote the tribute on the actual card, they were to glue a candy heart in the place for those words.  The student who used the most candy hearts correctly won a prize.  Noah got the prize with Luke, Sarah, and Rebeka not far behind.  Good job kids!
The new booklist was sent home today.  The next book we are going to read is Arabian Nights so we need to order the next book which is The Story of Rolf and the Viking Bow.  This book needs to be in class after the break so you have enough time to order it if you do so right now.  The rest of the books we are going to be able to read this semester are on the list.  We have not completed the first semester in this book yet so we probably won't finish this history book this year. We will give it a good try though!
Any make up work that went home last Friday MUST come in this Friday.  After that I will NOT accept it.
