Write down your favorite chapter in your CPB and what you learned from it.
Also, What was the best thing that you learned from the whole book?  Write that down in your CPB.

This assignment is for everyone!  Please plan to stay for Journeyman and Masters if you are able.  We will be organizing and creating some carnival games for our end of year party.

We are celebrating the end of the wars!  What better way to celebrate than with a carnival!

It's our Favorite!

Read Chapters 18 and 19 in Orbiting the Giant Hairball

Since we have super short notice, you can choose to read any of the following:  Maybe you have already read one of these and can skim through it quickly, that's ok, but please be prepared to participate in the discussion of the books.

King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green

The Wonderful Wizard of OZ by L. Frank Baum

The Adventures of Robin Hood

Any Book that you are currently reading

We will be sewing again!  Back by popular demand.  If you have already made bean bags or something easy, think about doing something different. :)  It would be good for you.  I've added some new projects.  Also, think about making something for someone else.  It does not have to be for you.  HERE is the link to sign up.  IF YOU PLAN TO BE THERE, YOU NEED TO DO THE WORK ABOVE AND SIGN UP FOR A PROJECT!  PLEASE!  Some of these projects I have to practice or find the tutorial for them and find buttons, zippers, velcro, interfacing and stuff.  If no one has signed up, I won't bring the stuff for that project.

IT'S LUCKY DAY!

As you all know, I like to celebrate Holiday's just because it's fun! Sooooooo, lets make it fun!

Everyone bring something GREEN or GOLD or RAINBOW to share!  I'm thinking food or treats, but it could be hats or necklaces, stickers, etc.  

Read/Study:

1. Find 3 interesting facts about St. Patricks Day.  Write them in your CPB.  Be prepared to share.

2. Make up a limerick and be prepared to share it with the class. Also, write it out on pretty paper in your best handwriting.  We will hang it in your spot.

(noun

1. a humorous, frequently bawdy, verse of three long and two short lines rhyming aabba, popularized by Edward Lear.)  The long lines are usually 7-8 syllables and they all rhyme and the short lines are usually 5 syllables and they rhyme.  It is also short and sweet and tells a story.

A: I love to come to vanguard

A: Even when the work seems too hard

B: I love having friends

B: It's sad when it ends

A: I know I will never be scarred

3. Music Analysis-

Last time we learned about composers from the war eras.  

This week I want you to pick your favorite song from any era.  Type up the lyrics to the song and then analyze each stance and type up what the song means.  Literally and figuratively.

For example:  A song that was popular when I was your age was Puff the Magic Dragon.  Here are the lyrics. I thought it was the greatest.  My mother hated it.  When I broke it down and really digested what the words meant to me,  I found some interesting things.  It could just be a story about a boy and a dragon, or it could have a double meaning.  My mom thought it was about smoking marijuana.  What do you think?  (Don't do this song, it's just an example.)

I want you to think about each stance of the song you pick and write up a paper about it.  You can turn it into your writing mentor and bring it to class to share.

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff oh

Chorus:

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name oh

Chorus:

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys
One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar

Chorus:

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave oh

We will discuss the book of the month at Eureka.

That's all folks!  You will have lots of time to work with your movie groups.

Become/Serve:  Think about the songs that you listen to at home and on the radio.  Do they have good lyrics?  Could you listen to better music that invites the spirit?  Try listening to only uplifting music for at least one day and write down how it makes you feel.  Think about the rice experiment.  Do you think your countenance will shine brighter if you are listening to good music?

Read Chapters 16 and 17 in "Orbiting the Giant Hairball."

Journal about your favorite parts.

Read: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett 

Instead of Sewing, we are going to do some string art.  It's super fun!  Pick one of these patterns and let me know which one you want.  I need to know by Wednesday, so that I can get your wood and pattern ready.  You can also do a Letter.  (for example, Sam wants to do an "S".) You can also pick something different, but I have patterns for the ones listed, and they are simple.  

 Please bring a hammer! I will have a couple sewing machines there, if you have projects you would like to finish instead of doing this.  And, as always, you can bring your own project as well.

2.  Make sure to read the apprentice book of the month.  It is, "Number the Stars", by Lois Lowry.

4.  Build a Valentine's Day Box!  Make it awesome!  There will be a contest and a prize!

5.  Make a handmade valentine for each vanguardian.  Please don't bring store bought.  I told you at class that you would have to hand write one for each person.  I changed my mind, it can be printed.  Please be kind and respectful with your valentine's.

Know/Understand:

Memorize the scripture and quote:

Penmanship:  Write in your best handwriting the scripture, the theme, or both.  Or, find your own scripture or quote.   Bring your handwriting page to class to hang in your spot.

Scripture:

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” 

Philippians 4:13 (See also Alma 26:12)

Memorization:

“The more you make the choice to live above your feelings, to trust God instead of what you may feel like doing, the stronger your faith becomes. It’s not about being perfect. We will always be on a journey of growing closer to God.” 

--- Tim Tebow

Become/Serve:  Do a secret act of service for someone in your family.  Write about how it makes you feel.  

Or

Make a Valentine for someone in your ward or family that needs a little extra love.
