Hello!

I hope you had a great start to the week, and I am sure that Mrs. Wenger, my guest teacher, had a wonderful day with all my classes.

Today you were to write the final draft of your Poem of Apology. If you don't feel ready for this, please hold off. I will be happy to meet with you and take a look at your writing on Thursday. I would rather have you wait than to turn in a paper you feel "iffy" about. Remember, the more peer edits, the better...ask several peers to edit your writing. Your paper should be full of green, and keep in mind this is a narrative, it tells a story, so setting, character traits, conflict, and resolution should paint word pictures in the readers' mind!

P 1,4: Tomorrow you will read a very cool science-fiction story about a girl who lives in unusual circumstances. You won't believe what happens to her!

P. 2,5,6: You will all be taking a pre-test for the Power of the Mind unit. I like for you to compare your answers by taking it after the unit because it's amazing to see how much students' critical thinking skills develop.

Everyone bring your indepepndent reading book! Are you on the waiting list for Wild Boy ? I finished it! Loved it! I will return it so you can check it out.

Have a good evening!
