Here’s your checklist for the week!

If You Were Busy Being Kind

 by R. Foreman

If you were busy being kind,

Before you knew it you would find

You’d soon forget to think ’twas true

That someone was unkind to you.

(February 6)

If you were busy being glad

And cheering people who seem sad,

Although your heart might ache a bit,

You’d soon forget to notice it.

Here is the link for a bunch of shuffle dance steps. You can practice any and all of them if you want.

Review Footloose line dance.

We’ll learn some new stuff on Thursday too:)

We have been asked to show our awesome explorer movie trailers at the End Of the Year Movie Night”. I wasn’t at all surprised, since you did such a good job. Some of your movie trailers are ready to show! Some of them need a little fine tuning: put in dialogue, increase volume, etc. etc.

If your movie trailer had any issues, would you fix them? The End Of the Year Movie Night audience will consist of all of Vanguard, parents and other guests. Hint: You’ll want to make sure your trailer is fantastic:)

Send me your trailer (if you haven’t already), so that I can gather everyone’s to play through consecutively.

We are going to spend another week on explorers! For this week you will need a tri-fold board. You can find one at the dollar store. If that doesn’t work out, you can always use a flattened cardboard box.

Step 1: Research at least 5 explorers from THIS LIST.

Include the following information about each Explorer on board:

Name of explorer. 

Where did he explore? 

Year

Interesting facts about his journey

Pictures to go with it

You want your board to look organized, interesting and full of information. Here are some examples, although they don’t have to do with explorers, maybe they will give you ideas on how you could create your own. I like that they have a clear title, colors of paper that coordinate, and frames around each picture.

Finish reading Astrid the Unstoppable! We haven’t finished the book, but a couple Juniors who have finished loved it! They didn’t want to give any spoilers but it sounds like we’re in store for some surprises.

To celebrate Astrid, we are going to play in the snow! We will go snow shoeing and I suspect we’ll find a hill to sled on too!

Bring snow clothes to class. Pack them now! You may even want to put them in the car, so that you don’t forget them on Thursday! You need snow pants, boots, gloves, and a hat. Bring a sled if you have one.

There are no Juniors who have a birthday in February, but Jinger Cloward’s birthday is the day of class! Happy birthday Jinger:)
