Its just another muffin biscuit Monday!
Welcome to a brand new Monday beautiful girl.
What did you think about church yesterday? I would love to talk with you about it, even if we do it back and forth in comments. I can tell you that I felt convicted about not truly supporting my pastor and his wife. It was amazing to see first hand the results of that happening. I kind of felt like you might have come down front because you wanted to say something during the service yesterday morning? Did you have something you wanted to say? I'm going to ask you to pray with me, daily, for all of the Hyche family-the kids also. They really, really need our support and especially our prayers. Help me find some verses that can help us remember to support them. You find two and I'll find two.
In History I know you needed help with your map of AL. We'll finish that, and then I want you to watch this video of the Muskogee/Creek Indians doing a "stomp dance". This was actually here in Phenix City. Remember when we were at the museum and we talked about the Trail of Tears? They talked about that the Muskogee Indians now live in Oklahoma because they were forced out of their homes here and marched there. These people have come from Oklahoma back to their native homeland to a festival and are doing a traditional stomp dance.
Also, who was your #WCW?? I'm so curious now!! Be thinking about who you want for this week!
I'm really excited about this #WCW thing. I think we owe it to ourselves to know about these women. At the Republican Debates the other day one of the questions they asked the candidates was who should be on the $10 (You know they are going to put a woman on the $10). None of them could really give a quick answer. We should have these women on the tip of our tongue!
Here is a quote by Susan B. Anthony, who worked tirelessly for women to have the right to vote.

“It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union.... Men, their rights and nothing more; women, their rights and nothing less”
For Math, continue with XtraMath. Today I want you to really focus on trying to answer as many problems as possible. Lets see how much higher your score gets!
In Science we're going to continue with the chapter we started last week about the cell nucleus. Today go back over it and see if you have questions or anything you need further explanation on (do NOT say everything!! ;) )
After we discuss it, answer the questions for this chapter (not the practice ones).
Today Read BOTR Ch. 18. Here are the study guide questions that go along with this chapter:
Chapter Eighteen
Discussion:1. Discuss some of the new things Samuel is experiencing as a result of having Namontack coming to live with the colonists.
2. Samuel is shocked to discover that Captain Smith’s brush with death at the hands of the Powhatans was actually just a dramatic ritual. In the Author’s Note, the author explains that historians still debate about whether or not Pocahontas saved Captain Smith’s life, or if the event happened at all (pages 229–230). What is the difference between a historical myth and a historical fact? Can students think of other examples of myths in American history? What does this example demonstrate about history’s ability to change based on newly discovered knowledge?
3. The Powhatans look at Captain Smith as being one of them now. This has caused Chief Powhatan to take care of the colonists because he considers them one of his tribes. Samuel believes this is a good thing but is worried about what the gentlemen will think if they find out that Chief Powhatan is treating them as one of his tribes. Why is Samuel concerned about this?
4. Namontack sails with those returning to England. Discuss the new things he will see. Coming from a different cultural perspective, what might he think of England?
5. The colonists decide to make John Smith the new president. What qualifications for the job did Captain Smith have?
Activities:
1) On page 137, the colonists begin construction of the new fort. Locate pictures of this new, five-sided fort by using the Jamestown Web sites included in the references.

2) What diseases could the “summer sickness” have been? Research possible “summer sicknesses” such as diseases borne by different insects (mosquitoes, flies, ticks, etc.).
Are you still enjoying the book? I hope so!

I read the second draft of your persuasive essay. I see where you made some corrections, but it still has a few problems. I understand why you don't want to continue using that one, so lets starts another one. Here are some ideas to get you started. Lets look at this and discuss it as well.
We will do your Spelling pretest today-Lesson 5.
Let's talk about life skills today. Where do we want to go with that this week?
I love you chica, and remember:
Here are my two verses about supporting our pastors: Hebrews 13:17 “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.”
