Since I am on a planning roll today, I thought I would post our first week's assignment sheet for Fall. We have one more week of the Summer Quarter before our break.

This assignment sheet is for 6th grade and up. We will be using Around The World In 180 Days as our core this year. Spetember 6th seems like a long way away now, but with a couple more short trips, a remodeling project, and lots of parties it will be here soon.

Assignments Week of September 6^th – 12^th

Keep these sheets in your notebook for the full quarter.

  Thoughts for the week:

Wed: We must believe that it is possible to achieve our dreams and then commit to achieving those dreams. Fill in your Success Circles.

Fri: Who I am is what fulfills me and fulfills the vision I have of the world. –Audre Lorde Write about “who” you are when you are at your best. Either an essay or 10 positive I am statements.

Mon: Chances are you’ll feel confident, competent, and capable if you have a strong support system around you. List the five times you have felt most confident, five times you have felt most competent, and the five times you have felt the most capable.
