Day #27 - 10/9/14 - Unit 1 Lesson 12 Part III

Good Morning Young Heroes,
      Today is a ‘B’ Day so we will go to Phys. Ed.  I wonder what kinds of challenges you might face today on the road of trials.  On your quest for knowledge you will need to have:
  • ELA Binder of Courage & The Lightning Thief
  • SS Folder of Protection
  • Independent Reading book of knowledge 

Then pick up an Ipad and go to our classroom blog to read the Point to Ponder.

P2P: How do you feel about using the Ipads to help you read information from the board.
