 My nephew Sean has the right idea about having nothing but a relaxing weekend. I am sure his father (and my brother), buried under Sean and some pillows, would agree. I know I do! :-) | While still struggling with a nasty cold today, I was welcomed back by my students and had a good day despite the lack of energy. Here's a quick recap to lead you into the weekend. In reading, students worked on their weekly vocabulary word sort in preparation for next week's quiz. We then reviewed the words and did a read aloud of the chapter "Sae Young" from |
Seedfolks, noting how the community garden had a very positive effect on this character's difficult life. In social studies, we moved into Chapter 1, Lesson 2, on the artifacts at Skara Brae, which led into such topics as improved technology, the domestication of crops and animals, the development of a surplus that led to social divisions, and the formation of small villages. In writing, students took their first D.O.L. quiz. I then spent the rest of the class conferring with students about the second drafts of their 9/11 reflections, which are due on Monday. I can't wait to see what the kids produce after putting in a lot of thought and hard work into these reflections. With all that said, have a safe, relaxing and rejuvenating weekend. And for all the students who have homecoming football dances and games this weekend, have fun and good luck.
