Home Sick Today

Good Morning!

I am home sick today. My head ache still hurts so much, so I decided to stay home and rest. You guys will watch a TED talk, take some notes, and write a blog post about it. 

I’ve been read your blog posts and I’m so impressed! You will take some time reading and commenting on other blogs today. Write thoughtful comments that connect to the post! I’ll try and approve posts and comments during the day. 

Finally, silent reading time! YAY!!! You’ll read quietly. After silent reading, if there’s time, make a T chart in your notebook and identify external and internal conflicts in the book you’re reading. We will share and talk about them next week. 

I’d love to hear how your day goes. Feel free to leave a comment here! Have a great weekend!

WE are blogging, let’s talk about books!

I’m so excited. Today was a wonderful day filled with students commenting on blog posts. I love some of the creative pseudonyms. What’s the best part of blogging for you, so far? Let’s talk about what we’re reading…anyone reading a great book? Please share good books to read!

To any former students: are you out there? Please comment and leave some words of wisdom for my sixth graders this year!

 

Homework (due Wednesday):

Please remember to complete designing the cover and title page to your writing notebook. 

 

How many books did I read last year? sign needs to be completed.
