Tuesday in Room 17. Yes, that is a sentence fragment, but we'll work on that later this month along with run-on sentences and paragraphing.The kids just started work on an exciting tech project that's new this year. To go along with their self-portraits (great job on these, by the way) they are writing a short biography. We'll make some digital photos of the portraits and then "put" them in the computer on a program named "Photostory." We hope to have some projects to show on "Back to School Night," which happens for fourth and fifth grade classes on Thursday, October 1st.
Today's bonus question: What are the nicknames for the five Pacific Salmon species?
Current Read Aloud: Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl. It's all about the harrowing and humorous experiences of a Fox family apparently at the mercy of three very mean farmers.
Recommended book for parents and other adults: Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon. Dense but accessible crime drama set c. 1970.
