HW: Meet in Computer Lab

Ms. Nakada asked the class to take out the paragraph we wrote. Ms. Nakada told the class to take out their English scores. She said she loved meeting our families.She said if you haven't finish the perfect paragraph to go get your Alphasmart. She said if your Alphasmart is 1-10 to go get your Alphasmart. Now she 11-14 now 15-20 and so on. She said if your done with your perfect paragraph she said to start reading a book. Some of the kids thought she was going to say to finish your the homework. She said again to meet in the computer lab and that we just wait in front of the door and she was going to tell us where to sit. She said to the class that the first letter in the paragraph has to be capitalized and she said after your done to run the spell check. Now she said to take out our reading journal because she was going to check if we did the homework. Ms. Nakada is showing everyone their grade in her class and Andre is singing out of nowhere. Today the class was pretty noisy and some people didn't look too happy about their grades. Andre continues singing an odd song. Ms. Nakada said that to please have your reading journal out and that we should 5.1-5.5. Ms.Nakada is still showing kids there grade. She told the class to bring there alpha smart up. Some kids were singing a bad song and Ms. Nakada asked them if they knew what that meant and Isaiah told Ms. Nakada what it meant and it wasn't too good. Now Ms. Nakada told the class to pack up there stuff and now it is time to leave.

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...
