Homework for tonight…2/24/14
by Shila Schneider on Feb.24, 2014, under Uncategorized
Tonight’s homework: Be ready to give those awesome speeches tomorrow!! If you haven’t brought in your trifold, it needs to be here tomorrow. 🙂
Remember to come in your costumes–but bring your uniforms to change into at 10:30. If hair needs painted/colored for your costume, it has been okayed, but it must be washed out for school on Wednesday.
Reader Response Journals: ARE due this week, however they do not have to be done on the students’ specific days…just sometime before Friday. 🙂
Remember that Thursday night is our NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM for parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles/cousins/neighbors…etc. 🙂
Students need to be here by 5:15. The speeches start at 5:30. We will finish at 6:30.
If anyone is willing to donate a case of the small bottles of water, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

Few more things…
by Shila Schneider on Feb.18, 2014, under Uncategorized
Wow, this time of year gets CRAZY!!! With that being said, there is no Words Their Way homework this week because of the short/crazy schedule. Reader Response Journals need to be done, but not necessarily on their assigned day. Just have them turned in no later than Friday.
For the Wax Museum: If anyone would like to donate the small/personal (1/2 pint size) bottles of water to have for parent night, that would be GREATLY appreciated! We will be serving water and cookies. (Mrs. Chidester’s class is in charge of cookies)
If any of you are super creative and would like to decorate our classroom door for the Dr. Seuss Week door decorating contest, let me know!! I’d love the help!
I’m sure there is more, so you might be getting another message from me later!! 🙂Trifold Guidelines
by Shila Schneider on Feb.18, 2014, under Uncategorized
Tri-Fold Guideline:
Tri-Board:
*Tri-boards (approximately 4’ x 2’8”) may be purchased at office supply stores (Staple’s, Office Max, Wal-Mart, etc.) – let the teacher know if there is a problem in getting one
Things to include:
*Title- person’s name and date of birth and death.
*Report – Tri-Fold should include a typed PDF of the Biography bookmark. This will be completed and printed during class. The typed PDF should be attached to the tri-fold so that audience can clearly see the information.
*Pictures-portraits of character and/or things and places that pertain to the character
*Map- include one map that is relevant to his person. It can be a map of the state where they were born, or an area of the world they have influenced.
*Five Questions- MUST HAVE FIVE QUESTIONS YOU CAN ANSWER ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER PREPARED AND POSTED ON TRI-BOARD IN LARGE FONT!
*Neatness/Creativity-should be neat, colorful, and show that you put effort into it
*Anything else you can think to display that will help the audience visualize your character and their life.
