Rodriguez

We have talked about some exciting things this week.
I am really stoked about our Entrepeneurial Adventure. I think we are going to come up with something great and pull together as a team to make it happen. I can't wait to see what we learn!



Yesterday, I told you the story of Rodriguez. What I want to know is, how would you feel if you were him and found out after all of that time that you were a cultural hero and icon? Would you be excited? sad? angry? Why? Please post a comment telling us how you would feel. Remember to write properly with capitals and punctuation. You also need to sign your name.

Gift and Take

Do you have any questions about the Gift and Take? This is the place to ask and find out more information.

Gifts should be no more than $5 and should be appropriate for all.
I will have extra gifts for the pile for those who forget or cannot get their own.
Gifts should be wrapped and be anonymous (bring it in a plastic bag).
Great gifts include candy, baked goods, small games or cards.

Please remember to start looking for extra socks around your house.

Said Went

Those were some funny, interesting, and sometimes down right depressing stories you wrote about Happy Ninja. I'm hoping you are noticing a difference when you "whisper read" your story.
Your Keith Haring pieces are looking great and that was a super fun DPA.

Please vote for the Give and Take and also post a comment with as many synonyms for "said" and "went" as you can.

See you Thursday with your bright smiles, persevering natures, good choice making brains, and canned goods.

Todays riddle

Here is a riddle for you guys to solve if you know the answer just comment.

The more you have of it, the less you see what it is!?

Coming up

Next week we will be having a celebratory sock stuffy day! We ask that you please bring in a pair of socks, buttons, and stuffing. Do not worry if you don't have some, its okay we will. This Friday we will be having art electives where we will be doing some fun activities. Smoothie day will also be held this Friday. We will be having pizza on Thursday instead of Wednesday.

Surprising Ad

I preached today about being honest so, I'll admit it. I was a cranky fuss pot today. There. That's the honest truth. Thanks for putting up with me.
Despite my mood, we did a lot of good learning today. In math, we learned how to plot the points from our triangle growth t-table onto a graph. The hardest thing for many of you was numbering your axes. Remember that each block needs to be worth the same thing. Most of you chose to make each block worth 5. Some of you made every two blocks worth 5. Both of these were good choices. Some of you forgot to read over the note you took about what graphs need and handed in a graph without titles for each axis.
I love the game Scooter Cage Ball. The larger exercise balls were more fun to play with. I'll have to ask Ray where those are.
I hope that we can re-visit those stories that you started today. I hope you got what I was trying to say about the reverse busting. I really think it is the way to plan your stories out so that they make more sense. We will try again.
Please remember to make all social plans before getting to school. Unfortunately, we cannot let you use the phone to make plans for after school.
Also remember non-perishable goods for our food drive.
Here is that ad we watched today. Can you bust it?
