Activities for Class During Jog-a-thon

Hello Students,

Today you have a substitute and most of your classmates are at the jog-a-thon. Since you are not participating in the jog-a-thon, here is a list of activities for you to choose from until the jog-a-thon is over and everyone returns to class. You are not allowed to sit in class and do nothing, so please make sure you are keeping yourself busy. You may choose to do as many of the following activities as you have time for:

1.) Read one of the poetry books on the black cart at the back of the room.
2.) Read one of the Ancient Egypt books on the back wall of the room.
3.) Play the Pyramid Challenge Game on the BBC website.
4.) Play the Make a Mummy Game on the BBC website.
5.) Play the Death in Sakkara Game on the BBC website. This game is a mystery game that takes place in Egypt. You will have to use your knowledge of Egypt and clues you find in the game to solve the mystery. (Do not use an email address to save your game when you play.)
6.) Play any of the context clue games we have previously played in class.
7.) Write a poem or story.
8.) Make a podcast radio show for fun about a topic of your choice.
9.) Create a project in Comic Life or any other application.

If you have a question, you can reach me today by commenting on this post. I will check this website throughout the morning to answer your questions.

Have fun, and be respectful to the substitute.

See you next week,

Mrs. Pack
