4th Grade Learning Extension for Week of February 2, 2015

This week I have two challenges for you.  I would like you to respond to these challenges in our journal.  These are both important and fairly simple.  I'm looking for 100% participation.

• Think about your Genius Hour project.  Did you choose a topic you are TRULY passionate about?  If you are TRULY passionate about this project, then you would want to read and learn about it all the time, even without being asked to.  Write a journal reflection on your Genius Hour topic considering if you LOVE this idea or not.  It is still ok to change.  Really think about what your passion is.  Your reflection should be at least one paragraph and should tell your honest feelings about your topic.  We will be discussing this in class.
• Please bring to class a motivational quote for our Quotable Quotes wall.  Talk with your family.  Maybe your family has a saying.  Write your quote in your journal and it's source.  For example.  
• You have brains in your head.  You have feet in your shoes.  You can steer yourself any direction you choose. - Dr. Seuss
• After you write down your quote, write a short explanation of why you think your quote would be good for our Quotable Quotes wall.

Due Dates:

• Mrs. Martinez' Class is due on Thursday 2/5/15
• Mrs. Padgett and Mrs. Montgomery's class is due on Friday 2/6/15

I would recommend doing your assignments early so you don't have to worry about it next week on mock testing days.

Have fun!  Learn Lots!  Grow Dendrites!
