Spring Break is next week!
Enjoy your break, but make sure you've completed the following:
1) Finish reading The Extraordinary Ordinary Life of Mark Rodriguez. Please send me an email at my regular email address to let me know when you have finished the book. You must have completed the book by the time we return from Spring Break, on Tuesday, 3/28.
2) Finish writing your mystery story. Be sure you are continuing suspense, using descriptive language (including figurative language), and crafting a careful, satisfying ending. Guidelines:
* Finish writing your story without rushing the conclusion.
* Carefully proofread your story, then have someone else proofread it, too.
* Email your story to me (as at attachment to my MarkUp address) when it is finished.
* Do not send a paper that has not been carefully proofread several times by you and an adult! (Proofread AGAIN, since last time, because you've changed it, fixed it, and added some stuff; it is not the same paper they proofread before!)
* Text me whenever you send a document to MarkUp so I can check to make sure it has been received.
3) Be ready to recite your new Scripture memory verse on the Tuesday after Spring Break.
4) Memorize your "easy poem" for your first poem recitation, which will take place on the first Thursday after Spring Break, 3/30. Practice reciting it out loud with a good, slow, loud, bold voice.
Also, daily:
+ Read your (approved) reading log book for pleasure, aiming for at least 30 minutes daily. Mark the number of minutes on your Reading Log calendar (in multiples of five, rounded down) as you go along.
+ Write in your gratitude journal daily, aiming for three things but listing at least one thing you are thankful for each day. When you have done so, place a small check mark in the top corner of your Reading Log calendar for that day.

+ Review one of your Scripture memory verses each day, such that you keep all of them fresh in your memory at all times and each verse gets reviewed at least once per week.
