Announcements and Reminders for Monday, February 12, 2018 : I am available for Cave Time on Tuesdays and Fridays.  Wednesday is an enrichment day in my classroom:  Mock Trial. Thursday is Request Day.  If you haven't brought your composition book,  bring it as soon as possible.  We have checked some of the items you have written  in your composition book.  If you need to catch up, see the tab above for Composition Books.

Targets for Today: Read, of course! I can read for enjoyment, and participate in discussions about literature.

Today’s  Agenda for Thursday, February 8, 2018: Don't forget to bring your composition book to leave in class.   1.  Listen to  The Rithmatist from page 273 -- 7:28:20 through page    .     2.    In your composition book under "Reading Response Log" which begins on page 31,  write a 1/3 to 1/2 page response to this prompt: "[Joel would] almost rather be left with the possibility that he could have been a Rithmatist than find out for certain."   Are there things that you would rather NOT know for sure or things you would just rather not know?   Is not knowing sometimes better?  Why?  Label it "Knowing?" and add today's date   2-12-18. Show it to your _6_ o'clock appointment.  Already Used: 10 and  4 and 11 and 9 and 7  and 5 and 3 and 2 and 1  o'clock 3.  Continue to read on your own through page 296-- the end of chapter 20.  If you finish before the rest of the class, read your own book. We listened again through page 302, after "Watching." 8:20:35
