Literature Assignment (Gold Day)
1. We will take the Nature Poetry Test today. This covers six poems. Students will have a resource sheet with all six poems on it; the quiz is on Google Forms. If you are working from home, please email me at the beginning of class, and I will send you the link to the resource sheet and the test. The test must be completed and submitted by the end of the class period. 2. We will also take a short vocabulary quiz. This covers mostly the new words from our poetry study and some "old" words chosen at random from the master list. This quiz is also on Google Forms. If you are working from home, I will open the link for you at the beginning of class. This quiz must be completed and submitted by the end of the class period. You may not use any notes or resources. 3, Please be sure you have submitted responses to the questions on Actively Learn over "The Interlopers" by the beginning of class. We will discuss these as time allows and watch a short film adaptation. Please know that there is some brief "language" (profanity) in the film that is not suitable for young children to hear. While we should not use this language ourselves, it shows the characters' flaws and makes the theme of the story more clear. Please be careful when watching and playing the film. Comments are closed.

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.

Pray for Us! A Prayer to Christ, the Divine Teacher
O source of all Wisdom, Christ the Teacher,
You are the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Teach us to embrace the truths You have revealed to Your Church. Fill our souls with Your Grace that we may love God above all and our neighbors as ourselves. Christ Jesus, friend and Teacher most patient, bless us and teach us. O Light of the world, teach us always to follow You that we should not walk in darkness, but have forever the Light of Life! Amen. Archives
