These photos represent our Veterans and how much we love them and appreciate them. Our Bible class made these cards to share the love of our Veterans and to make their day happy when reading all of these cards. We should appreciate our nations Veterans whenever we have a chance to.
In literature, point of view is the mode of narration that an author employs (uses) to let the reader know who is telling the story. Point of view allows the reader to “hear” and “see” what takes place in a piece of literature through a particular perspective. In considering the chapter book you are reading for your upcoming book report, from which point of view is that story told? As a comment to this post, please identify if the story you are reading is told from first or third person perspective (If the story is told from first person point of view, please state the character who is telling the story). ALSO, provide one quote or passage from your book as evidence of that point of view.
Please use the following words in a short paragraph, on a topic of your choice, demonstrating the correct meaning of each word (use a dictionary if needed): Demonstrate, Analyze, Identify, Comprehend, Observe. Your sentences must be your own! Happy writing!
Mrs. Medina’s 6th graders say, “Thank you!” to their parents. Click on “Leave a Reply” to see all of their words of gratitude. You should find a set of dual verbs and three adjectives in each of their comments!

Green Topic Paragraph = Go! Yellow Body Paragraphs = Slow down and state your reasons/ideas! Red = Stop and Give Explanations and Examples! Green Conclusion Paragraph = Go again with your thesis! See the graphic organizers in the previous post!
Students use Keynote to create a graphic organizer in preparation for their first Step Up To Writing essay! Really, their “essay” is a letter to their pen pals in South Tyrol, Italy!! Students gathered and organized their thoughts as part one of the writing process. Their five paragraph letter should be well structured thanks to the color coded model seen here!
Through this project students were able to summarize the series of events that make up the plot in their summer reading story. Students identified both the internal and external conflict and described the setting–answering both “where and when” the story takes place. Students were able to analyze and communicate the main character’s qualities, both stated and inferred. Here are some creative examples of their work!!
An interesting part of my summer was eating crispy chips (french fries), a warm meat pie (meat filling of your choice) and ketchup out of a can in Rotorua, New Zealand. I was told that this is the typical lunch for a New Zealand teenager! The meal was delicious and satisfying on a cold winter day! Share an interesting part of your summer as a “comment”! Be sure to use at least four adjectives!
