2015-2016 School Year: Day 16 Recap

The answer better be an emphatic "Yes!" from my students!

       As I catch up on what we did last week, here is a quick recap of what happened last Tuesday. In reading class, students took their second vocabulary quiz of the school year. In social studies, we dived into Chapter 1, Lesson 1, on the first Americans, with the kids doing a great job working in groups via various roles, including Group Previewer, Reader, Vocab Definer and Fact Finder. In writing, we focused on the comma, including the many rules that accompany this common form of punctuation and leading to the terrible picture joke to the left. As for all of my jokes, whether corny, truly funny or surprisingly controversial, they are always in good fun, which gives me an excuse to share this fun, catchy and ironic song from the summer. Enjoy.
