Hello Everybody!
This was a good week! I'm very proud that everyone (but two 8th graders) has taken the November AR tests. Everyone has returned the signed progress reports (whoops! Another two 8th graders...sigh!) Okay, 8th graders..surprise me on Monday.
Enjoy the weekend and don't forget to read every night!
Get those reading Logs signed tonight! Remember that tomorrow is the last day of November--that means AR tests are due.
6th grade "Passage to Freedom"
7th grade Trade in the "Middle Ages"
8th grade "Harrietta Tubman"
Hello Everybody,
Thank you, 7th and 8th grade, for returning your signed Progress Reports. You received 3 bonus points. The remaining 3 students will receive 2 bonus points if I have your signed reports by tomorrow. (Candy points: What kind of sentence is that, 7th and 8th graders?)
ALL AR tests are due by Friday, 11/30/07.
6th grade continues to read "Passage to Freedom, " 7th grade did DGP-4 and had time to read and take AR tests. 8th continues to study about Harriet Tubman. You had a "think-pair-share" activity about Harriett Tubman today.
Hello Everybody! I'm glad to be back. I hope your Thanksgiving break was as good as mine! We all thank Mrs. Pahawa for her wonderful job yesterday. Gosh! They are smart students, aren't they Mrs. Pahawa?
Progress reports went home today. Don't forget to have them signed and returned tomorrow for bonus points. Candy points: why did I write some words in bold letters and not others?
Quickly:
6th grade will continue to read "Passage to Freedom, " 7th grade will read more about the Middle Ages and trade, and 8th will continue to study about harriet Tubman.
Today you participated in a Thanksgiving activity. During this long weekend I want you to rest, enjoy your families and friends, eat too much and READ lots! Reading logs are due on Monday, 11/26/07.
When you return to school on Monday you will resume you regular curriculum units. Remember to welcome Mrs. Pahawa back into the classroom for the day. I will return on Tuesday, 11/27/07. I will certainly expect that ALL reading logs have been signed and returned.
Hello 6th Graders,
Today you reviewed the vocabulary from "Passage to Freedom" and talked about Mr. Chiune Sugihara. Vocabulary: diplomat, visas, government, superiors, refugee.
What did Mr. Sugihara do that made him a hero?
Hello 7th Graders,
Today you began reading the legend of King Arthur p. 88-99. Who do you think is shown in this picture?
Find out more information about King Arthur, the legendary hero.
Hello 8th Graders,
Today you learned the names of several abolitionists. Define abolition, abolition, abolitionist. Name the abolitionists that we discussed and read about in class today (including the photo of the man to the left.)
Hello Everybody,
Today all three classes went to the media center to check out books for the following week. There were a few students who did not bring the signed Reading Log. Please bring it on Monday.
Next week is a very short week; let's make it count! You have school on Monday and Tuesday, and then out of school Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to celebrate the Thanksgiving Day Holiday.
Refer to yesterday's blog to find out what you will do on Monday. I will still give candy to those who answer the questions I wrote in each grade's section.
Hello Everybody!
Get those reading logs signed tonight.
Tomorrow you will go to the media center to check-out books and read. Remember you can only check out the same book two times. You may take an AR test if you are ready.
