Due Cycle 6

Did you have fun during today's lesson? Want to challenge your parents? Have them try this version of what we learned in class!

Please make sure you share your Reflection Chart with your parents and teacher!  Remember, they are encouraged to add their own reflections about the year so far or just sign it.  Give them some time to look it over before asking for it back. :-)

Also, make sure you know your new Fall Workshop Schedule.

Due Cycle 5

10/7/2013

 
  1. Make sure you complete your feedback chart.
  2. Finish the classwork that you didn't complete today.  As a reminder, the instructions were to:
    -Complete the shield with the four areas (personality, interests/hobbies, talents, smarts)
    -In a paragraph (or a few short paragraphs if your shield has a lot of detail), write about your shield and what it represents in you.  Do NOT use your name!  We will try to guess which shield represents each of us next week.

    Examples of a detail sentence: "My shield represents my generous and sincere personality with the yellow heart."
    "I love to collect baseball cards, which is why I have drawn a picture of my favorite card."
    "I am a talented dancer, so the symbol I chose are my dancing shoes."
    "I am picture smart and music smart, which is why I chose to draw a picture of an eye and a quarter note."

    Don't forget a topic sentence and conclusion!

  3. Make your workshop choices here: WORKSHOPS
