Tuesday, May 19 Homework Letter

Tuesday, May 19

Dear ___________________,

Here is a homework checklist for tonight! J

1). Discuss the writing assessment with your parents/siblings/babysitter, etc. Tell them your story from start to finish and listen to any suggestions they may have.

Think about:

·      How to end your story

·      Characters- do you give them enough personality and description?

·      Is there a problem in your story?

·      How do you solve the problem?

·      Juicy words to add to your story

(You can have this conversation in the car ride home or to school tomorrow morning, at the dinner table, right before bedtime, at breakfast tomorrow, etc.)

2). Review your Prairie Tales script. Make sure you know your lines AND your cues!

3). Prepare your “costume” for tomorrow. You can always bring school clothes to change in/out of before/after the play. Remember Mr. O’Neill’s suggestions (white t-shirt and jeans, leggings/shorts for girls, etc).

4). Get a good night sleep and eat a good breakfast! You will all be FANTASTIC! I can’t wait to see it!

Love,

Miss Finn

We are the World Music and Lyrics

We are the World Lyrics

There comes a time when we heed a certain call

When the world..... must come together as one

There are people dying

And it’s time to lend a hand.... to life....

The greatest gift of all

We can’t go on... pretending day by day

That someone... somewhere... will soon make a change

We are all apart of.. God’s great big family

And the truth.. you know love is all we need

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let’s start giving

There’s a choice we’re making

We’re saving our own lives

It’s true we’ll make a better day 

Just you and me

Send them your heart

So they’ll know that someone cares

And their lives... will be... stronger and free

As God has shown us.. by turning stone to bread

So we all must lend a helping hand

We are the world, we are the children

We are the ones who make a brighter day

So let’s start giving

There’s a choice we’re making

We’re saving our own lives

It’s true we’ll make a better day 

Just you and me

When you’re down and out, there seems no hope at all

But if you just believe, there’s no way we can fall

Let us realize

That change can only come

When we.... stand together as one

We are the world (x2)
