HW due Wednesday:
1. Based off our work with Mic Crenshaw on Monday, write 4 bars about the idea of "family." This is just 4 bars (essentially 4 lines). It does NOT have to rhyme. Don't spend more than 18 minutes on this unless you seriously want to.
A reminder that we are leading Morning Meeting tomorrow. Please make sure if you have a role in the work tomorrow that you are at school by 8:40.
The Hero's Journey + Change Maker Reading Assignment #4 that you got this afternoon is NOT due tomorrow. We will continue to work on in class tomorrow.

Thank you all for an awesome day of engagement, planting, learning, pizza eating, and spoken word writing. You all rock! I am excited to have some of you help out with leading Morning Meeting tomorrow.
ALSO I FORGOT TO SAY THIS TODAY... TOMORROW IS PAJAMA DAY FOR READ-A-THON!!! ROCK THOSE PJ's TOMORROW!!!
HW due Friday:
1. Spoken Word - The purpose of the homework tonight is to build our practice with writing in "bar" format that Mic Crenshaw talked about in class this afternoon. Essentially a "bar" is what would fit within in 4 beats. If that is too confusing, just think of it as writing a line in a poem
Write 4 bars about what you ate for dinner (or if you don't want to do that, pick something random from your day and write about that, including eating pizza for lunch today, getting dismissed from school, walking into your room, etc...)
Write 4 bars about the following question "Who am I?"
Don't spend more than 18 minutes working on this homework. This should be perfectly, imperfect. We don't have to share this writing, it is all about practice!
We will work on our Powell Butte Plant Restoration Field Study Assignment in class tomorrow morning.
