Got em on YouTube!

If you go to YouTube type in Horizon Filly Infomercial and you should be able to see them.
OR
you can find them by my user name: TeacherJagsHorizon
They are posted as private, so I am not sure how that changes who can and can not view them.
Here are all of the URLs:

It's just not working

Okay guys....I've tried several times to upload here, but it's not working.
I'll post them all on YouTube directly and not here. I'll post a link as soon as I get to it.

Infomercial #5. Did they sell it well? Comment below.



I'm getting there...

I've finally downloaded the infomercials onto my home computer. It takes a while for Blogger to upload them...have patience.
They will come up one by one...as I get to them, in between
making sure Stinky Face leaves the dogs alone, baking, and wrapping gifts.
But for you my little duckies, it's worth it.
Hope your break is FANTASTIC! I already miss you guys!

Last week before CHRISTMAS VACATION!!!

Okay my little ducklings, this week is going to be THE BEST...for me that is!

After we study verbs and adverbs, review all the other parts of speech and sentence structure,
YOU ARE GOING TO FILM AN INFOMERCIAL
TO BE BROADCAST ON THIS BLOG PAGE!!
Don't you LOVE IT?
You'll be taped, with our fancy new camera,in a group, presenting Tony Little-esque infomercials with descriptive dialogue, compound/complex sentences, and reflexive verbs. Dance little students, dance! We'll film them Thursday and Friday.

On a more serious note, we'll have one more dam lesson, study the mega floods that formed our beautiful state of

Washington and then take
THE BIG TEST.
I am thinking I'll combine all the tests that
are scheduled, into one bigger test.
Better to do it all quick; like pulling off a Band Aid, ya know?

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SHOP FOR OUR HOLIDAY FAMILIES!!!
DUCKS ARE ON THE LINE HERE, PEOPLE!!

top secret extra credit: Write a letter to ANY Horizon teacher letting them know how they have helped you. This is worth 10 LA pts. if you let me deliver it to that teacher. Put it in a Christmas card and I'll add an additional 5 pts. (an additional 3 pts if you can tell me what is wrong with the directions above (hint: think plural).

Lost Ducks and this week...

WE ARE DONE WITH THE MIDDLE AGES!! Wow, 3 months after we started and look at all you've learned: Feudal systems, roles of the church and king, the black death, crusades, roles of women in the middle ages, Judaism, Muslims, Christians, and let's not forget HOW TO JUGGLE! I have a sneaky suspicion that you'll need to understand the ruling systems and roles of women in Native American culture...good thing we've got such a great reference base!

This week (while I hunt for the last three hidden duckies) we will begin learning about the geology and formation of our state. We'll learn about the giant flood that formed our area and made the soil so rich. We'll learn about Kennewick man and the controversy that surrounds his remains, and we'll be putting it all together while learning sentence structure (diagramming sentences is FUN) and parts of speech.

I LOVE SCHOOL!
Remember, you start school Monday with an A+, and I am a cake teacher- so keep that sugar of a grade up there!
