| Unfortunately, the chilly Chicago wind from Wednesday's cross country meet left me feeling as mobile and aware of my surroundings on Thursday morning as King Hippo in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, leaving me at home with a killer cold and knocked out of the classroom today. :-( With that said, here's what the students worked on with the sub today. In reading, students moved to their third close read of the Garden of Eden and compared it with Sam's chapter in Seedfolks, seeking text evidence from |
both texts showing how the two gardens were blessings and challenges for their inhabitants. In social studies, students dived into this week's Time for Kids, including an intriguing article on shark hunters. In writing, students had the opportunity to start their final 9/11 reflection, which will be due on Thursday. All in all, I am sure it wasn't the most exciting day for the kids, though I am positive they fought through it better than I dealt with this cold.
