ENJOY YOUR
SPRING BREAK!
Relax, refresh, rejuvenate… do all kinds of things that you find
refreshing and enjoyable so you will come back energized and ready to work hard
to the end of the year!
Below you
find several opportunities to work ahead and/or earn extra credit. If you find
these things appealing, feel free to do them over the break. If not, you may
wait until we return to complete them.
1) Any
reading that you do in your Reading Log book or the Mark Rodriguez book—and/or
journal writing that you do over break—may be recorded and will count in the
totals for your April Reading Log.
2) On Thursday, 4/12—two days after we return from spring break on Tuesday—you will need to have corrected
your returned “first page” of your theme story and to have completed five full pages.
If you wish to wait and do all of that correcting and writing after Spring
Break, that is perfectly fine. However, if you wish to continue this week while
you have a break from other schoolwork, you are free to do so. If you complete
five pages, please email them to my Markup address and send me a text to let me
know that you did so.
3) The
following poem is a lovely one to contemplate at Easter. It is also relatively
easy to memorize. If you memorize it over break and are able to recite it upon
our return, I will give you an extra quiz grade in your average for Quarter 4.
The Lamb,
by William Blake
Little lamb,
who made thee?
Dost
thou know who made thee?
Gave thee
life and bid thee feed
By the
stream and o'er the mead
Gave thee
clothing of delight
Softest
clothing wooly bright
Gave thee
such a tender voice
Making all
the vales rejoice!
Little
Lamb who made thee?
Dost
thou know who made thee?
Little
lamb, I'll tell thee!
Little
lamb, I'll tell thee!
He is
called by thy name
For he
calls himself a Lamb
He is meek
and he is mild
He became a
little child
I a child,
and thou a lamb
We are
called by his name
Little
lamb, God bless thee!
Little
lamb, God bless thee!

ALSO,
DAILY:
+ Read your
(approved) book for pleasure, aiming for 30 minutes each day. Mark the number
of minutes on your Reading Log as you go along—in multiples of five, rounded
down—and have a parent initial it in the box each day. The March Reading
Log will be due on Thursday, 3/29/18.
+ Write in
your journal each day (upside-down writer’s notebook entries), setting a timer
for five minutes and writing in first/second person as we’ve practiced in
class. Don’t forget to bring it back to class each Tuesday/Thursday!
+ Review
your four memorized Scripture memory verses (Titus 2:11-14, Ephesians 4:29-32,
Philippians 4:4-8, 1 Chronicles 29:11-13).
+ Review
your memorized poem occasionally to be sure you are keeping it in your memory.
+ Make your
bed!
