Create a LO or a mini book, using the questions for June Math. This is worth 250 points when it is done… I want to see those fabulous projects! I’m working on mine right now and I’ll post it when I get it done.

Well, here we are starting our next month of summer questions! How is everyone doing on their layout/mini book? Did you start on it yet? I'm going to change things up a bit this month. We'll still be having points for the daily questions and on layouts/altered art/cards done for different classes, but I'd like to forego the normal points system and mainly focus on doing the journal prompts and documenting those childhood memories. Any assignments you complete for another SOS class are worth an additional 150 points per finished assignment... and before you ask, you have to post the full Correspondence assignment to get the point for that class. Now settle down! You can do this... I know you can! Any layouts or mini book pages you post here relating to either June or July journaling prompts will earn you an additional 200 points.... whether they qualify for another class or not. Refer to July 15th post for additional requirements for full points on your mini book this month.

July 6 - Show me a fireworks picture (50 points)... if its from your childhood... 150 points
