May 22 Journal

Today I am subbing in the office. I set up the web cam, be on your best behavior. Most of you had great behavior on Tuesday- please continue.

Some of you still have not made three submissions on either your special day or your persuasive. Those essays need to be completed by TODAY or zeros will be issued.

Also, all red triangles must be gone in Study Island. There should not be any red triangles left on your main screen. Red triangles will effect your grade!

Presentations will finish today. Ms. Shannon has the printed essays and who is going today. Everyone must present. The lowest grade you could get would be a 70, if you are nervous, and that is way better than a zero.
  1. Pretend that you are a famous author of many award-winning books. What would you say to children about the importance of reading and writing?
  2. Do you prefer to read books or magazines? Explain.

I would rather read a magazine than a book because Boks take to long to get to the point of the book and if you read a magazine gives you up dates about superstars.

Anonymous said...

I prefer reading both because books give you information that you never knew before also it can sometimes be a book that can be a series and can leave you curious until you get the next book. I also like reading magazines because it has a lot of juicy gossip in them. Aslo I like reading kids magazines because they have poster in them to hang on a wall or something.
