Weekly IXL

Fifteens minutes in each section. This week you can choose on which skill you need to work. DO NOT work ahead. This week's IXL is for review.

Exercising our brains!

Simon Air is a great way to exercise your brain -- and take a brain break from the typical classwork and lessons. It challenges: focus, listening skills, visual tracking, and memorization.

Congrats to Angelene, our Simon Air Champ! She made it to #8.

Founders Force Discount

Mr. McElhaney has generously offered us a 30% discount for the next 10 days. The website is below and the promo code is GHIO.

Our surprise guest speaker...

...was Mr. Kyle McElhaney, author of the Founders Force series. He read us Truth Jotter and Free Speech and then answered all of many, many questions about his writing process and inspiration. https://squareup.com/store/founders-force-llc

Help Make 3G a ROLE MODEL for our school

Right now we're at 33% in the Annual Giving Campaign. Our goal is not 75 %, but 100% participation by March 1!!!!

When our school applies for grants, we're asked about the parent participation in fundraising. Grant foundations want to know that the parents support the school, which makes perfect sense. It doesn't matter how much you donate -- $5, $20, $100...., just that you participate.

So as incentive, I am offering a free HW pass to any student whose family participates. AND if 3G gets 100% participation, I will give an ENTIRE WEEK of NO HW, including...wait for it...IXL!!!! Since HW is an important part of the learning process, I will build in a study hall at the end of each day so that students can complete their HW/CW assignments. I will also build in lab time for IXL. The only exception will be tests, of course.

Ahhh... imagine a week of no HW hassles. Instead, family game night, a dinner without being rushed, happy children, peaceful parents, quiet, and so much more.

I was baptized at St. Ann, am a St. Ann alum and parishioner, and my daughters went to St. Ann. This school, its students, and families mean so much to me. I appreciate any support you can give to our Annual Giving Campaign. Go Colts!!!

BTW, I will be told who participates (pecentage), but will not be given the amount of your donation. 3G doesn't have a $ goal, just a % participation goal.

THANK YOU for your prayerful consideration!

Homework

Spelling - test
English - test over pronouns

All classwork due -- Latin, Handwriting, and Spelling

Pronouns are everywhere!

This afternoon, we worked with partners to search for pronouns in the series Founders Force. Once they found a pronoun, they had to determine which noun was being replaced by that pronoun.
