Hodgepodge of "Stuff"

A few pictures from the day. Check out the album called "Guess Who?-- Self Portraits." See if you can figure out who is who without looking at the photo caption. Craig and Emma, yours will be posted tomorrow. I thought I took everyone's picture, but I guess I didn't. Thanks for being patient with me. Yours WILL be up when I get to school tomorrow. I am so sorry.



I have also started to create a general album that I will add pictures to throughout the year. You can find the link on the right hand side of the page entitled 208-2009 School Year Album. Feel free to print or download pictures as you choose!!


Homework for tonight: Read for 20 minutes. In your Writer's Notebook, choose your favorite memory that you want to turn into a memoir/personal narrative. Then on a new page in your notebook, start listing out all of the details that you can remember from that experience. The challenge is to NOT START A ROUGH DRAFT. You are just listing and informally brainstorming what you remember from that memory. I can't wait to see what you have tomorrow. Remember to start thinking about whether you have interest in running for a Student Council office: president, v.president, secretary, treasurer, historian, parliamentarian, welcome committee, service committee, and class representative.

Congratulations to Craig and Marselienna for winning our decision dollar design contest. Each design was so creative. Thank you to everyone for giving it your all. You will get your first decision dollars tomorrow!

I am off to read through your reading response journals! I can't wait to read about the connections you made to Basil E. Frankweiler:-)

PS. One decision dollar will be awarded tomorrow to anyone who can tell me how many syllables the word "temperature" has. Remember--check the dictionary since we had a split vote in class between 3 syllables and 4 syllables. Be ready to defend your answer:-)
