Perseverance

We spurn despair and strive to complete tasks to the best of our abilities, regardless of the difficulty. We respond creatively to overcome obstacles and ask for help when necessary.

Quote of the Week

“So be sure when you step, step with care and great tact. And remember that life’s a Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed!) Kid, you’ll move mountains!”

~Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You’ll Go

Literature Vocabulary Word Cards

From now on, the students will be expected to complete three vocabulary cards for each chapter of The Phantom Tollbooth. These will be very similar to the vocabulary section on the literature circle sheets we regularly completed during The Secret Garden. The format is below.

   
*FYI: Tonight's homework (Tues. Oct 30th) is to complete only one vocabulary card since it is the first time they are doing it. :) The students are aware that after today, they'll be expected to complete 3 per chapter.*
