Worksheets with ant, anti, contra, counter and ob are missing in action from some students. Need to get those into me as quickly as possible..thanks for your help!
Read the story, "The White Umbrella" on pages 34-41 and answered questions relating to the story. The students started learning how to use PEER FACILITATION CIRCLES when they are reading a selection, in this case--a short story.
Discussion centered on the differences in families and their cultural expectations. Also the main character lied or embellished the truth to appear more confident.
On another note, it is important for students to have the proper tennis shoes during wellness. It is tough to run in some flip flops or sandals. In my wellness, we have been playing freeze tag and it gives them great joy to tag their teacher repeatedly because she is old and slow......

Speeches on Greek Gods and Goddesses
Make sure you have your notecards ready and your speech is practiced with plenty of eye contact!
You need an extra shot of confidence......fifth period's speeches were awesome!!! I can tell that they were prepared....Yippee!
Students are taking the MAP test today...well, really all this week! Math and Reading are the areas of testing.
Glad students are feeling better from being absent...remember to wash hands often...get a good night's sleep and eat properly. Also students need to drink fluids so they will stay hydrated....
On a personal note, Mrs. Basham paddled a kayak from the Hawesville boat dock to the bend ...I could see the dam and watched my boys as they rode the jet ski.....my arms were rubbery when I paddled back to the boat ramp.....

First Period Reading
I am so proud of Jenny Head who gave her speech. She did very well and knew many additional facts about her Greek god.

Accelerated Reading Points will be set soon. The first nine weeks' goal for all students will be nine.
That is correct! Only nine points .....however, the second nine weeks will be individualized for each student.
