Hello my favorites! I hope everyone enjoyed their free day off yesterday!

As you come in, here is our schedule for the day.

1) Math test! Yay! I love math tests!!!!
Get all your notes and a book if you need one. This is an INDIVIDUAL test. ALL WORK MUST BE SHOWN IF YOU WANT CREDIT. Remember, no work = no grade. I won't even grade the questions you got right.

We will do a quick review to get you ready. So grab a piece of paper!

Once you have completed your math test, you may get a computer. I won't give you a computer unless you've shown your work and taken your test!

2) Vocabulary -
In your blogs, complete the following assigment -
Blog Title: Week 6 Vocabulary Definitions & Examples
Assignment:
Your vocabulary words this week are: Verify, Sequence, and Simplify.
*** Find the definition for each word.
*** Copy the example sentences for each word.

Verify - Whenever you are absent, Julianna calls your mommies and daddies to verify your absence and make sure you are actually sick and not just skipping school!
Sequence - Your personal narratives should follow a logical sequence of your story - the "before" you, the story that changed you, and the "after" version of you.
Simplify - You should try to simplify your life by simply listening to your teacher sometimes!

3) Personal Narratives - FINAL DRAFTS
They were going to be due today, but since you didn't have school yesterday the due date will be extended until tomorrow. Make your edits.
If you think you are ready to print, I have to check it for you.
Remember to include the following:

- Times New Roman font, size 12
- Double spaced
- Proper heading in the top left hand corner:

Dialogue (remember to use quotation marks!)
Emotion (a scene that describes how you FELT about something)
