Today flew by in a whirlwind of new year, new things, new seats, new everything! :) Well, not new everything but getting back into the swing of things is pretty tough sometimes.
It sounded like everyone had a great break, which is fantastic to hear!
We continued working on our persuasive essay today and we will continue to revise and edit that this week with the hopes that it will be ready to turn in by Monday! Quick turn around time, yes, but we are all ready to move on. I have been seeing some great writing from the students though, which is fantastic to see!
There is a permission slip coming home today for our upcoming field trip (which is next Tuesday already!) to Garfield High School for their play Treasure Island. We went last year to the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and it was great so I can't wait to see what they have in store for us this year! Those permission slips are due Thursday with the $7 bus and admission fee. We also need at least 4 chaperones (who also need to pay) so that our class can go. If you are interested, please let me know.
Today we also introduced our focus for the month of January in reading, which is nonfiction book clubs! I am really excited about these book clubs and can't wait to hear more talking about reading and learning.
For bonus points, ask your student what article we are reading for our first book club. If they can tell you, write BONES on their planner for BONE-us points - Ha! :)
