Ideas

You have been gathering, developing and choosing ideas (702 did that today) for personal narratives. We have some great ideas! You have been responding to literature by connecting ideas from the text to your lives, the world, and other texts. Mrs. Moreno has posted ideas for sharing our voices in and out of class. With all these ideas being generated, we are off to a great start. After two weeks of school, Mrs. Moreno and I are impressed with your ideas.

Tonight, read for at least 25 minutes in a quiet place and respond to the reading according to the homework. 702 should finalize their small moment timelines, while 731 will continue to develop story ideas. Bring in all of your career info... we will begin the project later this week.

Here's another idea: I want to start a pen pal program with a seventh-grade class somewhere else in the U.S. I have some ideas about how to do this. Share your ideas here.

That sounds like a good idea. I had a pan-pal in 4th grade, and i loved it! It was so much fun writing to someone who lives in a different place from where you live! You learn a lot about where they live and what they like to do for fun.

It definitively would be a good idea!

Rita,
I love your enthusiasm. Thanks for commenting. My class had pen pals after Hurricane Katrina. I will tell the class more about that this week.
