How was your Thanksgiving? Personal Narrative Challenge!!
My son Marais was playing with my cousin bug. Bug is his nickname. They were running all over the place and jumping on the bed. No more monkey's jumping on the bed! Mama called the doctor and the doctor said. The next morning my aunt could not find her purse even though it was on the bed at the beginning of the night. My mom had to go back to help her look.
They found the purse jammed between the mattress and the footboard! My aunt and my mama said, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed!
What story can you write on this blog about your Thanksgiving?
What did you do? Did you eat a big meal? What happened?
p.s. My Aunt's cat has a mohawk shaved into her fur!
What a crazy cat!
Sincerely,
Mr. EJ

News From Room 120
Greetings Families,
This has been a week of transition! Congratulations to Ms. Wotipka and her husband on their new arrival of baby Frances, who came last Friday evening. She is doing well as a new mom. Meanwhile, the 5th graders and I have been getting to know each other and accomplishing some hard work at the same time.
We read Woodsong by Gary Paulsen, a Minnesota author. This story connected well to last weeks story about dogsled racing. We worked on paraphrasing, or writing the same message while using different words.
Students are encouraged to visit WWW.SPELLINGCITY.COM to take advantage of interactive spelling practice with the words of the week. Simply go to the site and do a teacher name search by typing in my name-Eric Johnson.
PYP: We have started our studies on Human Development. Thus far we have discussed the development of babies and children from birth to 5 years. Next week we will dive into adolescence.
· Colder weather means students need to dress appropriately with a jacket, hat, and mittens/gloves being required.
· In your Friday mail look for a letter on our poinsettia fundraiser. This will go to fund the ski trip later in the winter.
