A Psalm of Life

by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!---

For the soul is dead that slumbers, 

And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal;

Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

Was not spoken of the soul.

Writing: Copy the scripture out of your folder 

Copy as many poems as you would like to earn money.

Scripture: Memorize Moses 1:39 "For behold, this is my work and my glory -- to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man." Write this out in your neatest handwriting.

Unit Study Year plan:  We are studying 4 time periods this year.  We have 6 weeks in each time period.  The 6th week we will have a time period party.  We want you to come dressed like that day and age.  We would also like you to use these 6 weeks to make something from that time period.  While you are learning, decide on something you want to create and do it! You will bring it to show on the party day.

Some ideas:  make a tri-corn hat, dip a candle, make a spoon, sew an apron, make a haversack, make moccasins, make authentic food, whittle a horse, etc...

Unit project:  Continue to work on a project of this time period.  This is week 3 of 6.  Get to work and have fun!

REMINDER:  We want you to do all the work you are able to do.  You can collect Van-bucks for all the homework you do.  You can earn more Van-bucks when you give us a commercial for any book you finished reading this school year or over the summer.
