Hello, Dragons!

While I am at the Spelling Bee today, please follow the steps below to have a successful and productive class. See you soon!

What you'll need today:
 * chrome book
 * headphones (use your own or borrow a set from me - PLEASE wrap the cord NEATLY when you are done!)
 * mouse (if you want one)
 * your DGP sentence (if you were absent on Friday and need one, they are in the blue basket (regular) and green basket (GHP) on the round table)
 * a Giver packet (in the orange basket on the round table)
 * your assignment book
 * a pen or pencil

Once you have gathered all of those things, please proceed to Step 1 below:

Step 1 Get out your assignment book and open it to today. Watch this video to copy down the homework and get an overview of the day.

Step 2 Take out your DGP sentence and watch this video to go over the correct answers for the Monday work. Make sure you have a pen or pencil so you can make corrections as needed! You never know where the whirling wheel will land!

Step 3 Take a look at the Giver packet that you got from the orange basket on the round table. Make sure you have filled in the information on the front, because you DON'T want to lose this packet! Open it up to pages 1 and 2. See all those lines? Your job is to watch this video and use it to fill in the notes on those two pages. Do a really great job, because at the end of this unit, you will be allowed to use this packet on the test. Yes, really, so you'll want to have done your absolute best work.

Step 4 I don't expect anyone to finish all of this today, but if by some miracle you do, then please use any remaining time wisely. I suggest working on vocab unit 9 or Study Island, since they are due this week. If you are done with both of them, then go ahead and take an ARP test, work on Getting to the Root of It, or work on other homework.
