Father's Day 2011

This past weekend, we celebrated Father's Day. It was a day that many of you may have spent with your fathers, showing him how much you care about him and love him.

Tell me about what you did to celebrate Father's Day this weekend. What did you do for your father that made him feel special and loved?

Or, write about why you love and appreciate your father, grandfather, uncle, or other important man in your life. Write about a special time you spent with them.

Reading Log - Week of 6/13/11

Every week, students are to post a response to the books that they are reading at home. You may write a response about a book that you are currently reading or one that you just finished. It could be a book that you are reading alone or with a parent.

Leave a comment to my post before Friday morning of the week of the assignment. You should try a different response option every week. Remember to begin by writing a sentence stating the book you are reading and the author.

Tell Me About the Zoo!

I'm so jealous that you all went to the Bronx Zoo yesterday, but I wasn't there. Tell me all about it! Did you love the sunny, warm weather?

What animals did you see? Which ones were your favorite? Are there any animals that you didn't get to see?

Did you have fun with your group? Did you see the group of teachers walking around the zoo? How was the bus ride? Did anyone fall asleep on the way home? :)

Since I wasn't there, I want to know all about the trip. Post your comment below!
