Another Friday is upon us and another week has passed. I don't know where the time goes. We have been very busy again this week. Don't forget that next week is a short week due to Thanksgiving break. Please take time to enjoy with your families and make a point to share with your children what you are thankful for.
I am so thankful for the my students and their families. We couldn't be as successful as we are without you. Thanks for all you do!!
See the comments below for an update on our classroom from my students.
Lit circles is defintely different this time! Each group has a diffrent book that they picked. Star people (We also picked our own name) are reading Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli, (Hint: All books are from same author) manaic readers are reading Maniac Magee, and reading pizza is reading Loser.
ReplyDeleteEverytime we finish our assigned reading we blog on what we read and post our feelings and thinking, then we have to comment on two other people from the class.
Maniac Magee: Is about a little boy named Jeffery and his parents died causing him to live with his aunt and uncle who hate each other. The day of his school play he yells, "Say something! Say something!" Then he runs away and meets a girl named Amanda who lends him a book. A boy named Mars Bars starts to bully Jeffery and Mars Bars rips Amanda's book, Amanda stands up for Jeffery.
Stargirl: A new girl named Stargirl goes to Mica Area High School. She does everything diffrent, dancing in rain, brings stuff from home and decorates her desk, and theres a girl named Hillari Kimble who thinks star girl was sent in to make there school better. Stargirl also plays the ukulele and sings happy birthday to people who has a birthday.
Loser: A boy named Zinkoff starts first grade,and on the first day he wears a silly giraffe hat. Zinkoff is realy exited, but further on in the school year he cause trouble with his teacher. He moved onto second grade and met a boy named Andrew and tries to be his friend. Zinkoff is really annoying from Mrs. Bisswell's point of view. He threw up on her eraser!
