9/25 Wednesday



1. Game Time-Let's get the day started with some games. You can play either Eight Letter Game or Wordsearch.
Also play our new game, Knoword.  Here is the website's definition:

Knoword is a game of quick thinking, smart decisions and great words. When you begin, you will be given one randomly generated dictionary definition along with the first letter of its corresponding word. You must fill in the rest of the word to experience a gain in points and an added time bonus. You will start off with one minute before the game ends, and every word is an opportunity to extend your time. If you're ever stuck on a word, just hit the skip button and a new puzzle will present itself.

If you're able to string together correct answers, you will notice yourWord streak counter increasing. You can accumulate badges and additional points by achieving certain amounts of consecutively correct words... How far can you get?



So, I'd like you try out KNOWORD and write up a review and email it to me! Did you like it? Was it easy or hard? 

2. Vocabulary-Work with those words. Let's get ready for that quiz on Friday!

3.Global Warming - Let's read, listen, watch, and learn about Global Warming. Please look through and analyze the following links:

A Student's Guide to Climate Change
Global Warming Basics
12 Things You Can Do to Help Our Planet

On a piece of paper, you are to write down 15 facts you learned from the above sources. You must write at least three facts from each source (so not all 15 can come from the same site). Please write in complete sentences, using proper grammar.

4. Class Novel-Let's see what Ponyboy and the gang are up to.

5. Independent Reading-Grab your books and let's read!
