Hello Rachel,
Today is Tuesday, January 19, 2016. Some things that you need to get into a routine of doing in the mornings are: pull up covers on bed, straighten up things in room, brush hair and teeth, wash face, get dressed. These are good thing to get into a daily routing of doing.
Another thing I really need you to do is to clean out dishwasher, and put away your clean clothes in your room.
You need to work on class connect sessions.
ELA - 8:45
Science - 10:00
Math - 11:15
Murmur Gail will come a pick you up after you CC sessions at 12:30. Be sure and check to see if you have an Art CC added or a WIN session, etc. added to you schedule.
In the afternoon you will need to work on OLS sessions, USA Test Prep assignments/videos/performance tasks, etc (for ALL subjects). Also, any SI videos.
Art: Finish putting art prints in notebook. Go to page 24 in you student art lesson book. Take a look at the print "Mother and Child" as directed. Read directions. You have already started creating a drawing. In Step 1 it says to create/draw a frontal view of yourself and also draw a three-quarter (see pg. 30 to see how to draw this) view of yourself. This means you would draw 2 pictures of yourself total. Carefully read all of Step 2 on pg. 25. Then on to pg. 26 - read Step 3. You can add color using something other than paint. See tip at top of pg. 27. Keep working by moving on to Step 4 and 5 on pg. 27. See checklist on pg. 28.
Do OLS lesson 2:1
EXTRA: Read at least 2 chapters in "A Wrinkle in Time" OR 2 skinny books

Water Cycle extras
The Hydrologic Cycle is (also called the Water Cycle) is the continuous movement of water in the air, on the surface of and below the Earth. I hope you will find these things helpful in learning more about the water cycle. I worked really hard on looking this items up and finding things that I thought would make learning more fun. Please take time to explore these things below.
Mom
I hope you will take the time to look
Take a look at the following graphics:

Check out this experiment:
http://www.icanteachmychild.com/making-it-rain/
Here are some directions to make a water cycle bracelet using beads:
Yellow bead: represents the Sun - It powers the water cycle.
Clear bead: represents evaporation
White bead: represents condensation
Blue bead: represents precipitation
Green bead: represents collection - The water will eventually run into the oceans, rivers, and streams again.
The picture of the bracelet shows two beads for each color.

Hello Rachel,
Here are 2 slide shows about Comparative and Superlative adjectives: http://www.slideshare.net/ditza/comparative-and-superlative-adjectives-presentation?qid=49f04bea-5553-47af-82fa-392877156f18&v=default&b=&from_search=2

Which one was the best slide show in your opinion?
Here is you cursive writing assignment for today:
Today is Wednesday, January 6, 2016. Adjectives modify nouns or pronouns by describing, qualifying, or limiting. Adjectives answer the questions:
What kind? Which? How many? and Whose?
Go to Brain Pop and watch the video on the Water Cycle. Also, take a look at the Power Point that I printed out for you to view.
I hope you have a good day! I love you!
Mom :)
