Hello~

SO GOOD to be back! I was so happy to stamp those Archer Cards many times for the exemplary behavior you displayed to our guest teacher. You showed her respect on every level...for what more could I ask? What an incredible pleasure it is to be your teacher this year. Thank you!

Today all classes went to the IMC for genre book talk on "mystery." Ms. Burnette's book talks generate such high interest in reading, and I see the light bulbs turning on in your heads with books you want to check out. After that I reviewed expectations for the reading questions for periods 1,4. In p. 2,5,6 students graded their pre-assessment for the Power of the Mind unit.

P. 1 and 4: Turn in your responses for "All Summer in a Day" on p. 51 questions 1-5. Don't forget to include the responses to "Infer" which were scattered throughout the story.

P. 2,5,6: Final drafts of your Poem of Apology can be turned in tomorrow. If you need another peer edit, hold off on the final draft until you get another edit tomorrow.

Spell Bowl: First quiz tomorrow on pgs. 1-4 of the Word List. We will meet at 8 am!

See ya!
