Enjoy Our (eLearning) Snow Day! Writing:
1. Finish the Warriner's packet over verbals. Make sure all exercises and all pages are completely finished. 2. Begin researching and drafting your essay for the Serra Vocations Essay Contest. See the packet distributed yesterday and the link at yesterday's blog post. Your first draft is due on Wednesday, February 9. Literature: 1. Search for a book to read for our Independent Reading #4 assignment. The genre is "free choice" this time. You may read a fiction or a nonfiction book, as long as it is appropriate and approved by your parents. A book of about 200-300 pages would be good for this project. 2. I recommend that you order your book from the library or from Amazon (or other online source) today. You need to have the physical copy of your book by Monday, February 14. 3. Rather than a final presentation, we will have regular check-ins to read, discuss, and write about our books. As always, you will need to bring your independent reading book every day.

A Classroom Prayer
Holy Spirit, Giver of all good gifts, enter into my mind and heart. Give me the gift of knowledge and the grace to use it wisely. Help me in all my endeavors. Give me perseverance and fortitude. Help my memory, that I may remember what I learn and recall it when necessary. Guide me in the classroom.
