TGIF!
The retro picture of Megan and Matthew on top of this blog might have caught your attention. Today was 50’s day and the final day of our Spirit Week. We had a great time this week. I was a bit concerned when many of the students asked me what I wore in the 1950’s! Since I am only in my early 30’s, we will be having some parent conferences to discuss that. :-)
We did have an excellent day bettering ourselves as writers and that made it an even better day. We labored developing our sensory image words – taste, touch, smell, hear, and feel. We spent some time studying an item the kids were more than happy to write about – candy - specifically Starburst.
On Monday we are going to compare and contrast all the paragraphs to see who has the best one from each sense and then publish the collective best of each online. Look forward to seeing how creative the students are in their Starburst Sensory Stories.
Ms. Cox and I both sent home Progress Reports today. Most of the kids were excited, as their grades were pretty good. Please push them to really be focused of earning their AR points this nine weeks. We work so diligently on the Writing Test, we do not have as many grades as we usually do. AR makes a HUGE difference in that GPA at the end of the grading period.

I think that the candy we ate on Friday was very interesting it tasted sweet, lemony, and awesome. I hope that I get in 1st place on one of the senses that we do reading our stories on Monday.
Talk to you later.

I think that Matthew and Meagan looked awesome the way they dressed for the fifty's day today. I hope that whenever they do it again they can dress like that again. I really enjoy saying good things about people in class or in school. Thanks alot Mr.Person.

The candie experiment went very sweet. It tasted good as well. Starbust makes the writing test a lot more fun and easier.

When i got my progress report I was soo amased that I got A's and B's. That week went very well. I even got a girlfreind that week. I did not heave any 50s threads to wear,so I tried to roll up my pants to make it look like I was in the 50s.

Thank you Mr. Person for giving us candy and drinks in class. I had a great time watching Brittney sniff her starburst. It was so funny.
