Back Home in Q2

Discussion-what took place over break? Where'd you go? Who were you with? What did you get for Christmas? It is fun to catch up, but also a key to getting tonight's homework done.
Blog Comments, Settings-we took time to celebrate those who took on the blogging challenge over break. Twenty minutes was dedicated to reading entries and making comments on the work of classmates.
Holiday organization groups-we broke our holiday activities up into groups, then decided where each student could fit. This will form the basis for tonight's homework, plus the initial connection with Mr. T. Cook's class at the Taipei American School.
Peak, by Roland Smith-we began a new read aloud, Peak, a new book for us. It comes highly recommended by Ms. Swartzkopf's seventh grade nephews.

Homework-
1. Write a blog post describing what students did over break. Again, this is going to form the first touch with a partner/writer from TAS.
2. Bring journals to class tomorrow.
