Today is our last day of school ending at 2:20. Starting next week and until May 9th, we will be adding 36 minutes a day, which is roughly 6 minutes a period. I have a feeling those 6 minutes will feel more like 6 years. A few of us are going out in style at an off-site meeting place that knows us well.
I believe my seniors read today, which showed in the discussion of the assignment. I guess a few "did you read?" quizzes actually does spur them on to reading. Can't fathom not wanting to open a book and dive in until I drowned in the words, but I guess these kids are just missing out! We had a profitable discussion on the first part of chapter 8, and the kids got a good picture of one Kilgore Trout. One of my favorite lines in the book is coming up, and I hope they don't miss it!
CW was a writing day. I had them choose which one of their 1st or 3rd POVs they wanted to submit for a grade, polish it up, revise it, and submit it. I also had them do the same for one of the quick writes we did this week (finish it, polish it up, submit it). I wrote with them as well, and look forward to seeing where their writing is taking them.
