Good morning, and happy snow day!  (Is this number four for us?!)

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to practice responding to HOT (higher order thinking) questions.  Here’s what you need to do.

1. Read the story Funny Faces, which you can download here.  Don’t worry about completing the worksheets that come after the story.  Just read and enjoy the story.
2. Download the ice cream rubric we used in class yesterday.  Consider printing it out – it’s worth having a copy at home!
3. Log onto Study Island.  (www.studyisland.com)  If you don’t remember your password, email me.
4. There are several writing activities for you.  They’re called “Snow Day Choice 1” and “Snow Day Choice 2”.  Complete both.  Follow the directions carefully.
5. I’ll log onto Study Island periodically during the day today and will send you feedback on your work.  Feel free to log back in to see what feedback I sent you!
6. Enjoy the snow!  I just drove my wife to work, and while it’s not fun to drive through, it’s perfect for playing! 🙂
