Three weather days in one year! It's not a first but it is unusual and leaves us in quite the quandary.
After much consideration of all possible solutions, we think the best one is to simply drop Lesson #25 from our agenda and to take the remaining three weeks to cover Lesson #24. This will allow everyone to do a better paper and maybe even to step it up a notch.
Please take this week to really refine the paper that was to be turned in today and make it amazing. This is also a great week to review vocabulary and the grammar rules that are on the white pages at the back of the student binder. Don't forget our marble challenge! One for the paper, 5 for a picture, 10 for a drawn illustration, and 25 for the best title in each class.
I found this Disney video clip of "The Brave Little Tailor" on YouTube. It isn't the story in our book but it is cute and something to watch while sipping some hot chocolate. It's from the 30's and be aware that the giant does do some smoking.
If anyone would like more specifics on how we tackle this in class, please let me know. I will be making some suggestions on how to finish the book over the summer if anyone would like to go that route. The last lessons in the book are quite advanced and intended for Level B and C students. However, I am here to answer any concerns you may have or talk through anything that isn't clear. Please let me know if you need anything.
Have a blessed week, see you next Tuesday!
Melissa
