Despite the school copiers being temporarily done and out for the count, it was a good Monday in the classroom, as this quick recap shows. In reading class, we began by reviewing the week three vocabulary words from Friday's word sort in preparation for tomorrow's vocabulary quiz. As I gave some clues, students used their whiteboards to write down |
the word that best fit. From here, we continued on with Chapters 5-8 of Seedfolks, exploring some benefits and new challenges that were rising in the community garden and continuing with our SWBST summaries of our next group of characters.
In writing class, we did two DOLs and then reviewed our punctuation quiz from last week. We then examined the final rubric for the 9/11 reflection that will be due on Monday, October 5th before returning to our "subject" packets and selecting new classroom jobs.
While all that might not see like that much, it was a quite productive day in my opinion. Until tomorrow!
- "Sam wanted to plant some pumpkin seeds in the garden, but he was 78 years of age and too old to do such hard work. So Sam hired a teenager to plant the seeds for him. Then Sam agree to split the profit with the teen."
- "Virgil and his father wanted to grow baby lettuce in the community garden to make some quick money and get an 18-speed bicycle, but Virgil learned that summer was the wrong season to try to grow lettuce. So Virgil got mad at his father for this poor planning. Then Virgil felt bad for his dad, who didn't put too much research into this get-rich quick scheme, and prayed into the locket that he found in the garden that the lettuce would grow, somehow, someway."
