The first that started our class period was Ms. Nakada telling us to fill out our reading log for The Misfits. We started that by filling out what the tittle is then who the author is and then putting the date that we started the book. After filling out our reading log Ms. Nakada showed us an example of how she wants our summaries of the chapters we read daily to look like. Then Ms.Nakada picked kids in  the class to talk a little about the chapters we read. Ms. Nakada started reading a little bit of the chapters and asked questions for us to answer that have to do with the book. After all that Ms. Nakada picks people to act out part of the book. Some of the choosen ones by Ms.Nakada act out the characters Addie, Joe,and Skeezie. We write a summary of chapters 2 and 3 and finally the period ends.

Hm The Misfits Ch. 3&4

Ms. Nakada had a lot of new kids in period 4 and she had to sign their program cards. Ms. Nakada told us about our blog and asked us who would like to write our blog for today. I raised my hand and I got picked. After Ms. Nakada picked me to write our blog she had to collect our Course Outlines. There were a couple of kids that forgot to bring the Course Outline with their parent's signature. Ms. Nakada looked and saw if they were the same kids that were here from yesterday and all the kids from yesterday were here so we got to get a point and if we get up to 10 points we get to have a Popsicle Party, Smoothie Party, etc. As Ms. Nakada said yesterday about the uniforms she said it again because a couple of kids did not have the Emerson Uniform on which is Blue or Black pants and Grey or White shirts. Ms. Nakada asked if kids needed flags for their binders and some kids raised their hands because they needed to get some flags. Ms. Nakada asked the new kids to raise their hand so she could get the book that we read yesterday because they weren't here. Then Ms. Nakada asked the new kids when she calls their name to read their number on the book. 

Ms. Nakada asked the class to turn the page and write the date and she asked to write the Misfits page 1 through 22. This is the class's first reading journal. Ms. Nakada and the class is reading the first page of the book The Misfits. Now the class and Ms. Nakada is reading the book. Then Ms. Nakada asked the kids what did they learn from the page. Ms. Nakada asked would anybody else would like to read and she picked one of my classmates Devon. Ms. Nakada asked if any girls would like to read because all the boys were reading. Ms. Nakada had to fix her brightness on the class projector. Ms. Nakada excused one of the kids from class. Ms. Nakada is explaining about the summary we have to do for homework. Ms.Nakada told our class, "Have a seat so can dismiss you," and now she is dismissing kids to go to lunch..............

HW: The Misfits Ch. 1 - 2

The bell for fourth period rang and in strolled my new sixth grade English class. Everyone found their seats and as students wrote the agenda, I signed program cards. I passed out the course outlines and took roll. I reminded students of the uniform and hopefully everyone will have a collared shirt on tomorrow. :)

We read through the course outline about what students can expect in Ms. Nakada's class (lots of reading and writing). I also went over homework (read 20 pages a night, people) and book projects. We discussed grades and how in middle school you get a letter grade (A, B, C, D, or FAIL) and you also get E (excellent) S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory) for work habits and cooperation. I know, it will take some getting used to...

We then went over supplies (paper, pens, notebook for class notes, notebook for reading journals). Donate stuff! It will help keep our class nice!

I passed out copies of The Misfits and reminded students to read the first chapter tonight or during ET. 

We then started our blog and came up with OhEmGee :). So there we have it! Our first blog of the school year...
