Day 144: 6/25/21 - The Last Day of School

    Hip Hip Hooray!!! Today is the last day of school. It has been a pleasure teaching all of you this year. I am very proud of your perseverance, and your ability to adapt to a year that was filled with unexpected changes, and challenges. You should all give yourselves a pat on the back.

    I want to wish you all the happiest of summers, and I know that if you work hard there is nothing that you can't do in the future. As Doc Brown once said, "Your future is whatever you make it.... so make it a good one."

                        Sincerely,

                        Mr. Trumble

Activity #1

Your Summer Bucket List

Before summer vacation begins it is always good to take some time to think about the things you want to do. This way you don't just spend your summer doing the same old thing every day. Then before you know it summer is over and it is time to go back to school, and when you look back on your summer it feels like you really didn't do much. 

Directions:

• Take out a piece of lined paper

• Title it: Summer Bucket List

• You will have about 15 minutes to work with a friend to create a list of things you want to do over the summer. 

• We will then share as a whole group what we have on our lists. If you hear something you like, add it to your own list.

• Keep your list realistic, but also try to add some truly fun and exciting things you want to do. 

Homework: Take your list home and share it with your family...and have a great summer!!!!

Scrabble

Basic Rules

Here is a brief overview of Scrabble rules. For more precise rules, seek an official Scrabble rulebook.

• For each Scrabble game, there must be at least two-players and no more than four.

• The person who draws the earliest letter in the alphabet plays first.

• Once the order of turns is established, each person draws six (We will draw 9) more tiles.

• The game progresses as each player lays down tiles on the board that make up words that connect to already played words, like making one big crossword puzzle.

• Tiles can only be placed from left to right or from top to bottom. Words placed diagonally or backwards are not allowed.

• After each turn, the tile values are added up and placed on the score sheet, and the person draws the number of tiles they used for their last play, always having seven (We will have 10) tiles until all tiles run out.

• The person with the most points at the end of the game wins.
