--Draw six “X”s that all look different.
--Draw a picture of your room from 3 different perspectives.
--Read In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson. Do you think a grandmother should be obeyed, no matter what? Give at least three reasons to defend your view.
--Read Frindle. Make a dictionary of an invented language. Include part of speech, definition and origin.
--Read The Phantom Tollbooth or Lost in Lexicon. How do these authors use Language Arts and/or Math content facts in interesting ways? Why do you think they did that?

--The bird who couldn’t sing…
--Compare two pieces of music using words, pictures and dance.
--Compare two smells using words, pictures, music and dance.
--Compare and contrast humility and pride. Remember times you showed each. Are there times they can be positive and negative?
--What if there were no scissors? How would art, school, and medicine be different? What other careers use scissors, and how would they be different?
--Make a movie from start to finish and create it using GoAnimate or another online host.
