Happy Weekend

After a week of being off

//Dear summer please come soon\\

I made it to Friday and am extremely grateful for two days of rest

here is a recap of how quarter four began

 Planning three grade levels is always a challenge and usually ends up with me going in three directions at the same time

 //oh to only teach one grade level \\

Notice goal four

I found this semi-impossible as I:

1. made my 8th graders read a literature story in silence

2. sent a 7th grader out of my room within four minutes of coming in

3. made a 6th grader cry

Starting every class with a vocabulary routine is lovely  

 Busting out some good old Crayola for our interactive notebooks

Read a story by Maya Angelo that covered the theme "challenge"
Had students write a paragraph about a challenge they went through
